Funny thing is, the Houston board is really low key right now. Everyone is like, let's just chill till we hear from Dwight. Last time I checked, the thread for Dwight was only 5 pages long. Meanwhile, the Lakers board is blowing up.

That would be a real game-changer.

I don't see why NO would do that. Anderson is a nice fit next to Davis. Nice inside-outside PF/C combo. You get Asik and you just have another big C.

That would be AMAZING for Houston though.

not sure if serious. i would take Tobias Harris and Lamb over Asik and Bledsoe.

Spurs- still a threat but age is a factor
OKC- still a threat but depth is a factor
GSW- a threat but youth is a factor
LAC- a threat but weak front court
HOU - a threat but DH/JS scoring???? FT??? will they gel?

The west is sort of wide open to me. I don't see a clear front runner right now. Still plenty of time for a few tweaks and all but this isn't the MIA deal that put a team head-n-shoulders above everyone else. It's in the mix though.

Dont be Discounting them Pelicans :wink:

PG: Holliday
SG: Evans/Gordon
SF: Aminu/Miller
PF: Davis
C: Asik(assuming Ryan Anderson is dealt for him)

I want Dwight Howard to change his mind back to LA. And then change it back to Houston. And then end up signing with the Mavs.

I would have much rather he chosen the Lakers, then flip flopped and ended up in Houston.

Calderon signs a 4 year deal with Dallas worth 28 million. Mayo signs 3 year, 24 million dollar deal with Bucks.

Man, there are going to be so many new faces on so many different teams next season...

LMAOOOOO would anybody expect anything different.

The Sportscenter breaking news title...Dwight Howard Has Changed His Mind, Tells Lakers He's 50-50.

So fitting.

woosah · Post #414 » by **woosah** » Sat Jul 6, 2013 1:45 am

I thought Mayo signed with Milwaukee.

I just watched sportscenter and the phrase "Dwight Howard is waffling" was uttered for the 2nd time in his free agency career.

Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 15s

Omigod. MT @Chris_Broussard D12 has landed in LA & told Lakers it's 50-50 btwn them + Rockets. 2nd thoughts about leaving $30 mill on table

I really hope Dwight just told Mitch he'd resign under 1 condition and 1 condition only: Amnesty Kobe.

LBPTarHeel27 · Post #419 » by **LBPTarHeel27** » Sat Jul 6, 2013 2:05 am

It's funny how the media can really alter the perception of a player. Granted, Dwight has been very indecisive over the last couple years but so far everything that has actually come from his camp has said he hasn't made a decision. Meanwhile, the media is certain he selected Houston. Regardless of what happens at this point...because of the media's actions, Dwight will now have even more crap added to his reputation....even though he has not really made a formal decision yet.

All I will say about this whole Dwight drama created by the mental midget himself is that I am happy he's not our **** up anymore. Seems like he's never maturing unfortunately for him. Good riddance.
