Lakers/Dwight Howard free agency

[Punk]

I'm ready to see what the surprises are for the Howard meeting.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

I hope the surprise waiting for Dwight at the Laker meeting is an empty room with a one way coach ticket on the table. 

[Jay]

Can't imagine that Howard really wants to leave but if he does, see ya

[Angel Oracle]

Yes he does. "Not 4... not 5... not 6"

Except that no one will ever touch the Celtics' 8 straight titles from 1959 to 1966, because the league grew from some 10 teams back then to 30 teams today.   

 

Lebron could be known for leading not one, not two, but three teams to the NBA Finals; and winning a title with two teams.

That is a more reasonable goal.

I hope it's a sock party, just like Full Metal Jacket.

I hope it's a sock party, just like Full Metal Jacket.

The meeting is over. I wonder how long we'll have to wait.

[Bruce Nye]

I think Howard likes the romancing and PR more than the play.  I don't see the heart of a champion in him and hope he goes elsewhere.

 

Lakers need to re-build ala the Celtics.

[Agalloch]

I want him to just re-sign! I feel like he's going to but you never know with him.

[Tank]

Espn reporting that Howard will make a decision by Friday.

[Punk]

I'm hearing that Dwight plans on re-signing. 

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Link?  Bummed we lost Earl Clark.

[Ray McKigney]

Me too. I liked Earl Clark. At least he put in effort. Without him, the Lakers would have never made the playoffs last year. 

[OregonLAA]

I'm hearing that Dwight plans on re-signing.

Not to derail this thread but I thought you were a Texans fan?

I have a soft spot for the Texans. I started following them when they drafted Brian Cushing.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

CBS has a story saying that Golden State is probing to see how to free up cap room to make room for Dwight.  Not necessarily saying that Dwight choose them, but that they feel he could (that they're not out of it).  I'd be perfectly fine with Bogut's expiring deal, a first rounder (or two) and Harrison Barnes.

[Ray McKigney]

Let's just hope he decides today. Don't want to hear about his ridiculous indecisiveness anymore. 

[Agalloch]

He better decide today! This is getting ridiculous and the anxiety is killing me.

[nate]

According to the OCR Lakers insider, Dwight has made his decision and he will announce on Twitter.

[Ray McKigney]

He'll tweet that he's made his decision to take another week or so to decide what he wants to do. 

[nate]

LMAO and then there is this.  She probably did it for followers.  Bet she gained a ton.

 

 

@janiscarr: Hold on....my tweet about Dwight's announcement was premature. No need to sit on Twitter this weekend.

 

[nate]

Sounds like GSW conceding that they will not get Howard with the Iguodala S&T.

 

I bet he goes to Houston.  I wouldn't mind Asik at all.

[Stradling]

Or they got him to lessen the blow of losing Clay and The kid from NC in a sign and trade.

[m0nkey]

There's absolutely no way both klay and barnes come in a trade

[Stradling]

I agree I should have put or instead of and. I'd take Clay.
