The Warriors, Lakers, and Rockets appear to be the three teams left standing for Howard, according to Sam Amick of USA Today, who says the events of the last 24 hours have sent "strong signs" to the Mavericks and Hawks that they're out of the running. Meanwhile, a source tells Amick that the Warriors have been given indications that the Rockets are the "strong favorite" to land Howard.

No deals from us that helps Dwight get what he wants. I don't care what other player we might miss out on.

Barnes.... Asik.... A first round pick. Whatever.

if this is true of course.

Right now anything written that contains "Dwight Howard" is false until something real comes out.

Moving along...

I saw this as well. How and where are they getting this? They aren't providing enough info on us being outI hate the media

[Plainview1981]

If Howard rejects our offer I hope Ferry shows some guts instead of giving him what he wants... A S&T for Josh Smith for instance. Or taking GS's garbage.

Oh boy... nothing has changed here. Hawks are still just as much in the running as they were yesterday and the day before.

So signing the best three-point shooter is a sign that Howard is not coming here? But if another team made a move to get a shooter, it would be a sign Howard was leaning toward that team, right?The problem is that EVERYONE seems to be interpreting moves/lack of moves however they want to, and reading way too much into each one. Don't blame Dwight Howard for this, blame the media who is just trying to reel off story after story because they are FEEDING THE FANS who just can't wait to hear and talk about it.

And they weren't in the running at all to begin with.

It's over guys...the Hawks FO knows now.

And they weren't in the running at all to begin with.

Maybe they were, maybe they weren't. But I highly doubt Dwight would have wasted his time to sit down with Ferry if the Hawks weren't in the running.
