Dwight Howard will join Houston Rockets

After 20 months of twists and turns in the Dwight Howard saga a person with knowledge of his decision told USA TODAY Sports he will join the Houston Rockets.

[SoapBox]

1. Poor Rockets!

[El Supremo]

2. How about the Nuggets?

Iguodala just signed with the Warriors for less than Denver offered him. He thought Golden State has a better future,

[Buzz Clik]

3. Yeah. Nuggets are my boyhood team. That one stung.

Actually, when I started liking them, they were the Denver Rockets. Funny thing, that.

4. Why do the Lakers always get so lucky?

They are so much better off.

[Buzz Clik]

5. They had to suffer a year of him first.

6. Good point

7. Shaq: LA spotlight too bright for Dwight Howard

<snip>

"Shaquille O'Neal says the Los Angeles spotlight was too bright for Dwight Howard.

Speaking at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, Shaq hammered his former colleague as if they were battling in the post.

O'Neal opened his mouth agape when asked about Howard, who chose to leave the Lakers for the Houston Rockets late Friday, and joked about cheering on Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick in Saturday's race.

A few seconds later, he threw an elbow Howard's way.

"It was expected," Shaq said. "We've all been in LA, and not a whole lot of people can handle being under the bright lights. Everybody wants to do it, but when you get there, there are certain pressures. I think it was a safe move for him to go to a little town like Houston. That's right, little town. I said it."

Phil Jackson ✔ @PhilJackson11

What DH brings to the game is power and D. This past year didn’t show due it to rehab and confusion. If he is better of an
Astro, so be it.

Amazes me how stupid so many teams were to even show an interest in him...LA lucked out, only had to suffer him for one season.
