Any idea how that would work salary wise?
Dwight- 21.44
Harden- 14.69
Melo- 20?
Lowry-
Parsons-
cap holds 7x.507
That leaves $3.5M in cap, $17.3 to the tax apron. right?
Dude I honestly don't know how they could pull it off either,

That's what I was just trying to figure out. It must have been a lot less than 2 hours of face time.
Why even make the trip?
I'm telling you, Dwight Howard has a way of turning you off.
When I met him during the lockout, one of the first things I said to him was, "so you must really be missing playing right now" and his answer was, "Nah, not really. Now I have time to explore other things." Basketball is a job to him. He's an amazing talent of course, but if I were a player I probably wouldn't bank my remaining prime years of basketball on him.
They also brought Drexler into the meeting. I loved watching him play, but he is one of the most boring personalities out there. It's a snooze fest listening to him speak.
A lot was made out about Anthony and Lin's relationship in NY, but Anthony has always maintained that he was a big supporter of Lin. If they have remained friendly at all, then he may have been turned off by the number thing.

So in summary:
-Short 1 hr meeting
-Dwight is an a$$
-Drexler is boring
-if Lala is hesitant about CHI she is going to shut down the idea of living in HOU fast as frack
Oh and the Lin # thing is overblown, as I noted above he would have to give that number up to Melo regardless because Melo has more time in the league, it doesn't mean he is a goner

Agreed about Deng. He would a perfect fit in HOU.
As for LaLa we need to be proactive on this. Someone needs to find a way to get to her. We can't have this female spoiling our titles hopes because she like shopping on fifth avenue!
