This is Dwight though... can't apply basic logic to a guy like him. He will probably change his mind 5 times over the next day or two before flipping a coin to make his decision final.

Of course he will....



I don't understand the point in delaying the announcement. If he knows right now, why not get this hole circus over with? Oh that's right, Dwight is an insecure baby who loves th attention.

I agree. I also think the reason he could delay the announcement is to give time to one of the teams to make a trade.


This. I think that he is trying to give Golden State time to make room for him or to allow Houston to make room for Josh Smith, as well as himself.

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine 1m

Lakers, I'm told, have shown level of interest in Asik in past. So I DO fully expect Rockets and Lakers to talk S-and-T if Dwight picks HOU

New Orleans Pelicans Get
Tyreke Evans, PG
Jeff Withey, C

Sacramento Kings Get
Greivis Vasquez, PG
Two second-round picks

Portland Trail Blazers Get
Robin Lopez, C*
Terrel Harris, SG

Portland has collected some solid big men this off season.

EDIT....nvm just realized they sent Withey out.

I'm told of all #Magic players to make strides in weight room this summer PG Doron Lamb has made biggest jump. Could be another find for ORL
-Denton

Two big things. #1- Lamb is bigger. #2- He's a PG.

Man, if he came out of nowhere and joined the list of building blocks we have...that would be HUGE.

As if Milwaukee fans needed anything else to push them over the edge....

I can only imagine Milwaukee fans if Lamb turns out to be even a decent player.

Not sure 6 or 7 games at the end of the season counts as proving he can really shoot... at least he didn't let himself go like duhon though.

Vince did get in shape one time. But I've seen videos and pictures of these guys, they are looking much bigger, and they have been training a lot. running, boxing, swimming, etc. We'll see it sunday.
