It was leaked earlier tonight that Dwight Howard finally made a choice on where he’d play next year. The big man was going to Houston, and we could all rest easy knowing that another Dwightmare was over. Not so fast. As always with this dude, it wasn’t so easy. There are new reports saying he hasn’t decided yet because of the extra money involved should he stay in Los Angeles. Right now, some believe he’s still 50-50 between the Lakers and the Rockets.
Instead of wasting more space breaking this down, here are how players reacted on Twitter.

Me & @dmorey haven't always seen eye to eye, but you have to respect his ability to make moves like Harden & Howard, that's cool.
