What are the chances???

The enigma that is Dwight Howard? What is he thinking? Is it gonna be Dallas, Houston, Golden St., Atlanta, or the incumbant Lakers? Who knows with this guy? Today he could say he is going to sign with Dallas and then do a 180 and return to L.A. before the reports can be fully confirmed. The only real thing that we know about about Howard is that his game is the real deal. Alot of times in America we confuse perception with reality. Ever since Howard had his indecisive moments last year in Orlando he has been vilafied and by response people have deminished his ability. Now, how does that happen? He is the same player that he has always been. He was hurt last year, playing thru lingering back problems and shoulder issues, and the guy still averaged 17-12-2. Not bad for a guy that was visibly hurt throughout the year. There is a reason why all these teams want the services of this guy. Let's remember his assets....He is 6'11'', rebounds at a high rate, shoots over 50 % from the field; blocks over 2 shots per game; and if he is the focal point of the offense (which he should be) he will averaged over 20 points a game. And lets be real, Howard should be more advance offensively, but we can't make the guy something that he is not. He is not an offensive stallwart. I doubt that he ever will be, but with what he does bring he is still the best 5 man in the league. If you call yourself a true fan of any of the teams involved in the D12 sweepstakes then it would be disingenuine to say, "We don't want him". We gotta stop living and breathing off of emotion alone. "I don't like him".....well ask yourself a question....Would you like him if he averaged 23-13-3 next year for your team and led you to the NBA finals? Shit, I know I would. I don't like all the drama, but maybe the guy just needs to mature a little bit and kill his ego. I know alot of grown men that need that (moi included). Anyway, I hope the Mavs get him and we ride off into the sunset with D12 and Dirty Dirk leading us into a new era.....maybe we will find out today, but if I'm going off of history then I doubt it. I won't believe anything till the papers are signed.
