I can guarantee you all the leaks are coming from his camp, so it's his own damn fault. Don't tell me you don't remember allllllll the lying and flip flopping he did here...

This reminds me...Dwight's father (family) is probably so ashamed of what the hell his son has grown up to be...

Shameful **** right here.

He did a lot flip flopping here. No doubt. He admitted to being pressured by his dad. However, this is completely different. Dwight Howard himself made those comments and commitments when he was here. It wasn't some random reporter with "reliable sources". There is a big difference between the two scenarios.

Why would Dwight's own camp leak info that makes him look terrible?

For those of you siding on Dwight's side and blaming everything on the media, I have this to say: Dwight wants/craves attention. He knew from past experiences that the media will be taking a long and hard look at every word he utters and every move he makes. If he really wanted to not have any media attention, he wouldn't have told the world he's going to be making his decision Friday - today.

Well, apparently Dwight has not set up a meeting with the Lakers, he's just back in LA. Wonder why? Oh yeah, he lives there.

I bet Dwight is just pressuring Houston to make Josh Smith trade.

Dwight is such a circus and he is total attention whore, to the level of Kardashian, maybe even worse. The lil whore is gonna milk it thru as long as he can. Pathetic.

I know a lot of people are happy he kinda screwed over Lakers. But I'm worried the Rockets are actually gonna be good. I still don't get how the Lakers weren't good last year.

So, if the Rockets and the Heat are in the Finals, who will you be rooting for?

I'm definitely going to be rooting for the Rockets since I **** hate the Heat. Harden and Parson are pretty cool though.

If Rockets can't get a s&t for Smith then we should offer to take Asik and Lin off their hands to give them the cap space to sign Smith outright.

Big IF, but none of the above. I'll just enjoy the finals for what they are, can't bring myself to root for Dwights team or the Heat.
