No joke. This is the last thing Dwight needs to do. If Dwight starts getting cold feet, the Rockets might just want to say screw you Dwight. I think NBA fans everywhere are looking at Dwight as some kind of clown.
When he comes to houston I hope he addresses this. I hope he says he made his decision to be in houston was final; no waffling after.
This is definitely something that would happen to us...I will have no words if Dwight ends up staying in LA.

The simplest explanation for all this nonsense is: 1) He has made a private commitment to the Rockets. Otherwise they wouldn't be making all these moves that are contingent on having him. They aren't that stupid. 2) Kupchak has asked to meet with him, so Howard, as a courtesy, is publicly saying he has made no official commitment. After the meeting, he will make the decision official.
"He hopes to finalize his decision [Friday night] or [Saturday] morning," Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, told Yahoo! Sports. -Woj
