)RealGM is no stranger to the actual, real NBA. Some players probably check in from time to time, and most of the technologically-savvy members of the media undoubtedly know about this place. That kind of comes with the territory when you're the biggest and best basketball forum on the Internet. There is power in numbers, and we have the numbers to make at least a dent in the mind of Dwight Howard.
Tweeting "Come to Chicago Dwight!" or "Chicago loves you Dwight" is great and all, but what we need is something that strikes Howard to his very core and alters his thought process. In comes this Bill Simmons article (scroll to #5):

What we need to do is relentlessly mass tweet this article to Dwight. Outright, boastful, honest, stealthily, the more variety the better. ("Here's a picture of me and Dwight planking!" BAM, knowledge. "Dwight, remember this?" BAM, knowledge.) Of course, being genuine and honest would probably be the best course of action ("Hey Dwight maybe this will make you consider Chicago"... "Dwight, check out this article about you and Chicago"... etc.)
Unfortunately, this is what it's come to. I don't like doing this kind of stuff, but I want a dominant, superstar C to pair with Rose long term. At this point, we've pretty much run out of options, and I refuse to sit here and watch him force his way to a Nets team that is going nowhere. I don't want to say we didn't at least try.

Maybe it's not meant to be. I wasn't aware of this. Mods, feel more than free to merge with the other D12 thread.
