Notice how the majority of the 50-50 sources are from LA media

This sh** is over. Howard is a Rocket. Deal with it!

Before it is "official" he wants to tell the Lakers brass in person that he is leaving

Some people say this was a ploy to look like the hero in LA.

weeks ago they said the money didn't matter. Why's that coming up now?

Everyone seems to think this is right back up in the air.

Please take him. Please god.

I could see it being ploy to make him look bad, but it wouldn't surprise me if he played us based on his history. With that said; I still have a feeling he's going to be a Rocket.

The media outlets have the ability to dictate the Howard story however they please

Reports surfacing that Dwight Howard needs the extra money the Lakers can offer b/c he has to hire outside assistants to pick out his outfits for him in the morning, decide what he will eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which car he will drive that day, and which illegitimate child he will pay child support to that month.

All day it's been USA today and YHOO sports breaking the news on Dwight. Now this is ESPN breaking the "news"

I'm thinking this is ESPN just trying to create a story.

The LAKERS are caught off guard here. Now saying they were not expecting this

You know the Lakers are pissed. They got off easy w/ Dwight walking, now if the ball is in their court they have to decide what to do w/ this manchild

Anyone who didn't think Howard would flip flop back and forth a dozen times before eventually picking a destination he immediately regrets hasn't been following close enough.

Feel bad for all the Rocket fans who don't really know this giant vag.

This can't be teal. How could Dwight do this 2 years in a row. This is insane.

I'd believe if it's real, but I think they are just trying to make him into the bad guy now that he's not on the darling Lakers

I need to see the press conference in the end to see what he says

Do you really think that? Seems a little far-fetched.

@ mAgnoliAg - EXACTLY. Until Howard speaks for himself to explain what has been going on he is at the mercy of the media

Dwight at the mercy of the media.

I just don't get it. Granted, I'm not a multi-millionaire athlete, but at this point is 30 million really a substantial amount of money for the inevitable ****storm this will bring? From his standpoint I would think the extra year is more important w/ his back issues

Should clarify it is a two-way street. Him not saying anything doesn't help either, but until then he IS at the mercy of the media because they can report whatever they are "hearing" until kingdom come

Chris Broussard reporting Howard’s potential change of heart is over $30M guaranteed (again $9.3M if he were a Texas vs California resident)

No idea if he's right on the numbers, but if he is, this is just stupid. Dwight will get another max.

This same thing happened the trade deadline two years ago. The media took control. Even if he was changing his mind, they really exaggerated it

ESPN, his agent, or just someone looking to gain fame. Regardless, someone is exaggerating or flat out making this up.

Multiple diff sources have confirmed this. Outside of ESPN.

knowing the persons history....is say this is a legit change of heart...or seedy leaked power play by him/his camp

He's gonna say exactly whatever the team he signs with (Houston) wants to hear.
