    - Parsons signing with Dan Fegan, Dwight's agent

    [​IMG]

    - Dwight ejection in playoffs. Was a last "F**k THIS PLACE" sign

    - In hindsight, the Thomas Robinson trade. MAYBE the front office got some good intel of Dwight's interest in Houston then.

    - "shoemaniac" on Twitter saying he's coming :p. Its of course stylists and caretakers that seem to be most in the know

    (and it all happened "tamper-free" of COURSE)

    This made me certain. Everyone was either snoozing or angry on draft night and he was the only one who was waaaay too happy for making a second round pick. It was like he wanted to scream out we are getting Howard, but he could not.

    It made me certain something big was coming. I thought it was Smith and Howard, but I am happy with Howard. Unless we don't get another good player. Then the rockets were too cheap to pay the LT again.

    Or they want to save cap space for another star. Love, LMA, Rondo come to mind. Lebron is the pipe dream and a half.

    He was a 99% lock by the all star game.

    I also feel somewhat convinced that the whole Parsons/Fegan thing was a peace offering for perceived sleights to Fegan.

    The signs were there for a while but what I doubted was if Howard finally make a decision based solely on basketball. He was a man of his words, which is a great sign of maturity. He spoke of winning titles when he initially called DM with his decision (another great sign).


    Dwight is about to go off in Houston.

    That was the "tell" for me. Morey was positively giddy, when one would expect him to be acting like he usually does during these situations. Close mouthed, nervous, almost grim, and putting on weight like crazy. Instead, he was cheerful, talkative, happy as a clam, and thinner than I've seen him in a while. It only added up to one thing. He knew he had Dwight.

    His team contacted a hairdresser in Houston (Harden and Lin's guy) a few days before the decision, I'm assuming for the whole press conference he'll have in a cpl days since he's hanging out in a Houston hotel between his physical and intro afaik.

    No, the H is palm in and the fingers are parallel and the hand is slanted.

    The hookem

    The hookem is palm forward with the fingers pointing outward making a longhorn head.


    Also, I don't know how credible this is, but my cousins coworker's cousin, does sprinkler systems in Houston and apparently he worked on Dwight's house a few weeks ago.
