oh yeah sorry man! good entertainment for the rest of us but yeah sorry. Sounds like y'all still have a shot at him.
"He changed his mind," the source said. "Hey, he's Dwight. What can you say."
The source said Howard had a possible change of heart because of the extra $30 million he would be leaving on the table if he signs with Houston.
"It's hard to walk away from $30 million," a source close to Howard told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "Harder than we thought."

Los Angeles issued a statement saying that Howard informed Kupchak of his decision "to not return to the Lakers."

“It was on the Fourth of July,” Howard said. “That’s when I felt it was Houston. I was in Colorado. It seemed like every person that I met was from Houston. It was just so ironic. I’d walk around. Someone would ask for a picture. They’d give me a business card and it would say Houston on it. I was like, “Is everybody in Colorado from Houston right now?’ It was unbelievable. “I was like, ‘You know what, this has to be from God."
how much u wanna bet morey paid a bunch of locals and gave them fake business cards to give to dwight

i cant believe chandler was cheating on lin
“I think I had a big impact,” Parsons said at USA Basketball’s mini-camp. “The first thing he said at the press conference was that, ‘You guys should thank Chandler Parsons because he is a big reason why I am here.’“Obviously, he loves the team, [general manager] Daryl Morey, coach [Kevin] McHale and all that. But I think I just gave him that comfort that you got one of your boys here who is also a key part to the team, a young guy. And we can grow on this for a long time.”“I spent a lot of time during the summer in L.A.,” Parsons said. “We kind of just hit it off. We literally would text every day. He’d call me at 8 p.m. with a question and then he’d call me at midnight with the same question. I respect the way he handled [his free agency]. He took his time and weighed all his options.“I was just that guy trying to make him feel as comfortable as possible. We have very similar personalities. We are both outgoing. We’re always smiling. We like to have fun. I made him really comfortable that he was not only coming to a really good team, but a team with his friends on it.”

i'l have to keep an eye out for that Beverley butt screen...
i didnt watch a whole lot of howard before he left orlando (mostly i remember him getting owned by yao) but i think so far he's basically a slightly improved version of asik with better hands and an ability to finish (sometimes) around the rim.
