    Yep. I sure Stern will get a few calls because of this tweet.

    They're desperate as ****. No Dwight. No Lebron. That's what this is all about.

    the meeting location was chosen by Dwight last minute

    It was also sunday late night as opposed to the day

    Stein - ESPN's main guy is based out of Dallas.

    Its pretty understandable - at least from what I have seen/heard only Houston sat down to a meal with Dwight - tells me he has a level of comfort to do that with the team and be more receptive to their presentation. I do think that is a positive

    I heard form multiple sources that Chandler was also wearing plunging v-neck tee. Looked absolutely stunning.

    I agree. The only way I'd be disappointed is if he went to Dallas.

    If it's between Houston/LA the choice is clear. Either he cares about being a great and winning rings and signs here or cares more about the fluff of hollywood and STAYS with the Lakers.

    Also before some Laker troll mentions their past championships that means nothing in the future when the Lakers are under new ownership that has not proven anything yet.

    How are these meetings going?

    A whirlwind for Dwight. 5 meetings in two days. I'm sure his head is spinning but I'm sure he also likes the attention. Interesting experience for him.

    Mike D'Antoni is in that meeting. What is the strategy there? What can he say to convince him that that is the best place?

    They're telling him they have a track record of building championships and dynasties. We have cap room in 2014 and we know what it takes to build a championship team. We want you to be the focus as we transition from the Kobe era to the Dwight era. Also telling him about marketing opportunities and all LA has to offer. Mike D'Antoni has to share how he's going to better utilize him. Last year, they really didn't do it. Mike has to show him he's willing to make adjustments. That will go a long way to convincing him.

    I think Dwight will be quick with it. He'll take the next day or two. Some close to the situation say his mind is made up. I think it'll be a day or two. Teams won't relax until he signs the paper.

    I wouldn't count the Lakers out if they are bending over backwards for him.

    I think he had his mind made up before these presentations. All the credited sources are saying Rockets. I'm saying Rockets as well.

    The future is being decided RIGHT NOW. Whatever is happening in that meeting will decide whether Dwight stays or goes. AND WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE WAITING. It's too much!

    It's the only thing we can hope for. That it's up to the Lakers to change his mind and they aren't selling a better team. All they have are promises.

    No kidding... How is this not getting major heat from Stern?

    And lol at the Lakers.... They have nothing to offer other than a circus.

    I also think he has had his mind made up all along, which makes these "private audiences" even more ridiculous. If he ends up with us, all is forgiven. If not... :mad:
