Lakers caught by surprise that Dwight Howard's planning to see Mitch Kupchak once he lands in L.A. Said source: "That's news to Mitch."

neat

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Why is he going back to LA?

What the fuck...

 

[I am Michael Bolton]

quicky

You need to change it to Kobe giving him money to leave, not stay.

 

[Vire]

The absolute best possible thing that could happen, is Dwight goes back to LA and gets another coach fired only to go onto another middling miss the playoffs season.

Dude deserves nothing but the worst.

 

[Brinbe]

Why is he going back to LA?

huh...????

wha

 

[ryutaro's mama]

quicky

Fantastic.

 

[Dominican Power]

Seriously. Fuck Dwight, we don't want him nor do we need him. We already got LeBron and Kyrie locked up for next year. If it weren't for dumbfuck Jim Buss we'd have a top notch coach right about now.

When did you get unbanned?

The sports media at its pathetic worst tonight. Blaming Dwight for their own 'sources' based reporting.

I know most of you are upset with Dwight Howard, but he didn't flip flop here. He never announced anything and he didn't inform HOU or L.A.

p. much.

Not Bill Walton @NotBillWalton
ESPN is reporting that Dwight Howard is 50/50. Not because he really is, but because Tebow/LeBron news is dead right now.

Maybe this was Dwight's plan to get back at the media after how they ran him out of Orlando.

If it really is 50-50 for Dwight Howard, he should just shoot a free throw to make the decision.

 

[Vahagn]

This is so hilarious. Fagan definitely wants that extra 30 million cuz in 5 years HOV is going to run the NBA

 

[benjipwns]

Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA now
It's Houston. Source close to Dwight Howard confirms that he'll join the Rockets. He'll inform the Lakers and make an official decision.

Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA 4 minutes ago
In other NBA news, I'm hearing that Paul Millsap is in serious talks with the Atlanta Hawks. Trying to confirm and get terms.

As mentioned before, folks like David Aldridge and WOJ don't fuck around. You also have the Rockets setting things in motion trading Asik. He absolutely backed out of this.

The last and biggest resistance from the media has gave up. Let's move on, shall we?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Amick and Woj aren't just any ordinary sports media guys though. They're the best in the business at getting the most accurate story first and have a long proven track record of such.

 

[Red Blaster]

of course it was houston

woj and co don't make shit up

 

[jbug617]

Kennedy was right so far so I guess I'll give him the benefit of the doubt now.

 

[ph33nix]

IT'S FINALLY OVER

or is it

 

[StickSoldier]

Sorry rockets, you guys have to deal with that shit now.

 

[Knux-Future]

fuckin finally

 

[Matrix]

It was always Houston still. These fucking reporters and their bs sources.

I'm tired of all this. Wake me up when the Rockets season ends in disappointment anyway.


I shouldn't have typed up #STAY...

drama coming the Rockets fucking way.

I find that hard to believe. This is all damage control.

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA now
Dwight Howard's plan was always to meet with the Lakers a final time and tell MItch Kupchak of his decision.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

smh dwight

 

[SamuraiX-]

Can it end now...?

Please?

 

[Darkman M]

Somewhere LeBron is laughing his ass off at Dwight

Dwight himself is probably laughing at all of this right now.

 

[darkside31337]

Seems to me like Dwight wanted Houston but his agents wanted that 30 million.

Really Dwight?? Some where Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Cher and Celine Dion shaking their heads.... #DIVA

lulz

 

[h3ro]

I think the bigger story is that our boy Cope got paid! Congrats and gluck with fuckball.

 

[lupinko]

All that free cap space will be great with free agency in a year for the Lakers

 

[StickSoldier]

Rockets won't win shit anyways though, I mean, Dwight and Harden? Parsons isn't all that damn good, and Harden just now became the main option, so I can see them being a border playoff team next year.

 

[darkside31337]

lulz

Reggie calling somebody a diva. Dwight has a serious reputation problem.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

If Houston can score a lot of points and win games they will be a good team with Dwight.
