That 30m for the last year is... a really weak selling point. Unless he has some career ending injury within 2 years, he can just sign an extension with Houston (or whoever, lol) for that fifth year of even more money. The media is painting it like he literally gets 30m extra or peanuts, but that's far from the truth.

exactly. and the difference between the $30M and $20M is negated by the tax break in texas. :S man. let it be over already. far out

I scoffed at the idea of Dwight Howard deciding on his next team by today. I just didn't ever see that happening. Then, I saw the news today that he would go to the Rockets, and I almost fell out of my chair in shock. Now, I see he is still undecided. That's more like it lol.

But he gets 30m in the last year. If he signs a contract extension at the end of the new contract, he won't be allowed to get AS MUCH as 30m in one year.

I thought it was closer to $28MM in the last year of that potential Lakers' contract. The difference in potential money was closer to $5MM over the course of the next four years, but that obviously isn't accounting for the difference in state taxes.

Yeah, I think the difference will be around 5m, but you'd have to talk to a CBA expert to verify that one. And, state taxes.

This article explains the salary difference between LA and Houston: http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2013/03/max-contract-scenarios-for-2013-free-agents.html

I did some rudimentary math, and the difference is around 6m.

Well, as we all know, it's easier to tell someone you're stiffing them if they're hundreds of miles away as opposed to in the same room.

Tweet of the Night: If it really is 50-50 for Dwight Howard, he should just shoot a free throw to make the decision.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

lol @ Lakers fans being mad about Howard not wanting to come back. You have to look no farther than Jim Buss to know why he didn't come back. If Jerry was still here, Dwight is much more likely to stay, for several reasons. That max contract would have probably hurt them in the long run anyway.

now watch them tank and miraculously get Wiggins in the draft

Or Kobe scapegoating, Laker fanbase hating on him since the season started. Why would he want to stay in a city where almost everyone connected to basketball has stated their dislike of him?

Matt Barnes re-signs, 3/13.

Man, competitive parity will be garbage next season, it'll be 'competitors' and 'competitors for Wiggins'.

Reading these last few pages... Kind of a downer. First exciting news of Dwight going to Rockets. Then talk of him changing his mind. Then only to go to the Rockets still. WTB Decision 2.0
