According to Hoopsworld (http://www.hoopsworld.com/dwight-howard-ready-for-free-agent-circus-nba-lakers-meetings), sources close to Howard say that Jackson’s role with the organization makes the Lakers more attractive and Howard believes Jackson ’could help resolve some of the problems of last year’ which include the lack of touches in the paint for he and Pau Gasol. However Howard wants Jackson to be in a ‘defined, long-term role’ with the Lakers rather than just an unofficial consultant.

lakers should either sign and trade, rob the rockets of pieces they can

if the end goal is to make money, why not go after lin and capitalise on the chinese market?

seriously with a 1 leg kobe they should be either tanking next season...

[AchillesHeel]

I'm getting more convinced that Howard is staying in LA, Rockets are great and everything but haven't won jack shit in 17 years, FO is notorious for making some real shitty moves and fucking up talent, if Lakers get Phil to join the organization full-time and help on the roster and whatever coaching need there is I think Dwight will stay without a doubt, he wanted Pjax since day one and Phil's been mentoring him ever since he went to LA.

[djohn2oo8]

The Houston Rockets' dinner presentation to free-agent center Dwight Howard at the Hotel Bel-Air centered on the franchise's championship history and an infrastructure designed to give Howard a chance at multiple titles, sources with knowledge of the meeting told Yahoo! Sports.

Houston has emerged as the frontrunner to sign the Los Angeles Lakers center, league sources said, and those close to Howard confirmed late Sunday that the Rockets did nothing to dampen Howard's enthusiasm for the possibilities of playing for Houston.

Beyond Houston Rockets owner Les Alexander, general manager Daryl Morey, his front office staff, and coach Kevin McHale, the organization brought Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler to make cases to Howard about ownership's long commitment to winning and its relationships with its iconic players.

"Hakeem didn't say much, but what did he say was very impactful," one source in the room told Yahoo! Sports. Olajuwon talked about the Rockets as a destination for championships and drew upon his own personal relationship with Howard, sources said.

Yao Ming, another former great Rockets center, connected into the meeting from China through Skype and talked to Howard about his experiences with Houston.

Rockets stars James Harden and Chandler Parsons pitched Howard about how they wanted him as a teammate, how the chemistry of the locker room would welcome him. Without bringing up the Los Angeles Lakers, the Rockets could sell two things that the Lakers likely can't: a chance for a close connection with the franchise's star players; and an immediate chance to be a championship contender.

"His main focus was winning and we will give him the best opportunity to do that," Parsons told Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears.

Howard was flanked with his agent, Dan Fegan, and Happy Walters, the CEO of Relativity Media and an agent in the company. What those close to Howard had been saying privately for months was clearly apparent through the probing that Howard did himself with Rockets officials: Winning was his most important priority in the process, and most of the evening was spent discussing how the Rockets had a history of constructing themselves around iconic centers in pursuit of championships.

McHale made it clear to Howard that he planned to build his system around him, and that, ultimately, he would hold Howard accountable every day in the franchise's pursuit of a title. The Rockets had long believed that McHale, a Hall of Fame power forward, would be an immense asset in the recruitment of Howard. Howard had never had a head coach that could identify with him so well, who could literally look him in the eyes.

Rockets officials plan to stay in Los Angels for several days this week, meeting with free agents around the area and staying connected to Howard as he meets with the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Atlanta Hawks and ultimately the Los Angeles Lakers.

Agents talking to the Rockets about potential additions to the roster say they're searching for shooters and complementary players to surround Howard. "They're progressing on everything with Dwight in mind," one prominent agent said Sunday night. "They seem very confident."

Everyone molests children,we don't have that problem in Greece,at least not more than any other country.
We riot because our politicians are corrupt.
We pay our taxes but see point #2
We got beat by Nigeria because we had an incompetent coach.

Whoever wins Howard sweepstakes will land the NBA's biggest loser (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/story/22610148/whoever-wins-howard-sweepstakes-will-land-the-nbas-biggest-loser)

"Dwight Howard is a loser. This is the guy NBA teams have turned into the No. 1 object on the free agent market. This is the guy the Lakers -- the Lakers, for God's sake -- abandoned their Los Angeles cool to chase like a 13-year-old dork going after the prettiest airhead in school. They're doing photo-shops on Twitter with his jersey on the Beverly Hills Hotel. They're putting up billboards all over town with a huge picture of Dwight Howard's favorite player, accompanied by a single word: Stay.

Makes me think of four more letters:

Barf."

To have the father of some handsome lad
come up to me, as if I’d done him wrong,
and tell me off with some complaint like this—
“A fine thing there between you and my son,
you old spark. You met him coming back
from the gymnasium, after his bath—
you didn’t kiss or greet him with a hug,
or even try tickling his testicles—
yet you’re a friend of mine, his father.”

I'll repeat it:::he'd be best in Dallas= A fine coach, a settled & contented Nowitski, an owner who did it once so he's capable and has some money to pass around with whimsy.

Well, good for Houston. If true then this makes them a little better than last year, but still not good enough to get out of the western conference. Also give Lakers a shit ton more cap relief in 2014.

Honestly, trolling aside, this a big hit for the Lakers present and future. Dwight's the best big man in the game. I feel like most Laker fans unfairly criticized him last year. He was not 100% (He wasn't scheduled to come back until January) he played under 2 abnormal coaches/system who didn't utilized him and the PG who was supposed to make it all work was either busy deferring to Kobe or looking GQ on the bench.



In a league where theres a clear shortage of big man, Dwight's defensive presence alone, if healthy, is worth the max contract IMHO.

Yeah its fake but it doesn't matter, Dwight is still leaning towards Houston and has an 85% chance of signing with the Rockets, per Olajuwon.

I don't know who this guy is, but Rox fans were excited when they saw this.
