    Houston

    I really don't think Howard wants to go back to that headache. He did not get along with Kobe and not sure he would want to put up with more of the same and sneak into the playoffs again.
    Only reason he picked LA to begin with was he though it would = instant championship, which blew up in his face.

    Now he has to decide between a hot mess in LA with an aging Nash and Kobe (who is coming off a major injury and may never be 100% again), or head to Houston with a young team with an outstanding Harden. My opinion of course, he may actually enjoy the LA circus and just want he max $$ he can get.

    That's the only reason why I want him to go to Houston. Well that and the opportunity to get asik.

    I want to rub it in the face of all my laker fans friends. They always feel entitled and championships come because they are the best city and fans.

    I want them to suffer, which I actually hope they could. But even if Howard did sign and they sucked... They probably could be able to turn Howard into a lot of talent back.

    This. Kevin McHale is where he should go, so I vote Houston. But maybe he won't.

    I liked the condescending statement Kome supposedly made to Dwight that he would teach him to be a champion. Yeah, that'll help.

    Laker management brought Kobe to the meeting to say that, and they lost the contest right there.

    For years, the Jerry Buss ownership survived on Jerry West's recruiting talent. Ever since Jackson drove out West, the team has stagnated under all the children, pretending that Kupchak is leading.

    When Blazer fans criticize Allen, I point to Jerry Buss as to the worst ownership I've ever seen. But Los Angeles propaganda praised and praised him and now worships him in the afterlife.

    The more Kobe talks, the more he loses Dwight.

    I really don't care "who" he chooses, but when is he going to make his choice? Half the NBA is in limbo because Mr. Ego needs more time to make a decision.

    If he chooses someone tomorrow besides the Lakers then I applaud him for taking 5 days to listen and decide, and not be persuaded by what people think he should do instead of what he feels is best for him.

    If he stretches it out past tomorrow (or chooses the Lakers) well then yeah......screw him.

    That would be too funny if Howard choose to do a sign and trade with batum, Matthews and Leonard for Howard.

    Then we could say "olslapped"!

    LA radio is guessing that he is either letting the Rockets have time to get Josh Smith or the Warriors time to unload a few contracts. Either way they think the Lakers are out of it.

    Makes sense. If it were LA there's no reason to delay.

    Honestly Dwight knew the teams situations and opportunities even before he met with them. The meetings were for a few last minute questions and the other BS that these teams did to try to sway him there. He really should have known almost right away when he got done with the meetings. Only Dwight could keep making this worse and look worse than LBJ in the process.

    What if the Blazers were in a 3 way sending Aldridge to Houston while Josh Smith came to PDX some how and that was the big hang up?

    Why would it be any other way? Remember the drama surrounding Orlando? This guy is all about himself and the attention he can round up.
