Dwight Howard picks Houston
Sam Amick, USA Today
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.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because his decision had not yet been announced.
It's confirmed: Dwight Howard will go with the Houston Rockets when the July 10 moratorium ends. @sam_amick was first with the info.

A year ago, Dwight's reps laughed at the thought of signing with Houston. Now, per @sam_amick, he's headed there. Harden worth every nickel

Hopefully it's a straight signage, but there's always the possibility that the Rockets and Lakers work out a sign-and-trade if Howard wants even more money. Monster signing for Houston. Hey Massachusetts, can we eliminate that pesky state income tax? Also, how about we try to have warmer winters while we're at it.
