Hopefully all this Dwight Howard free agency crap will be over soon. He’s met with all 5 teams and will reportedly make a decision by July 10th – some reports are saying he will by this Friday. So what’s he doing while he makes the big decision?! He’s staying out of the spot light. Details after the jump…
Via CBSSports – Howard retreating to Colorado or Montana for decision:
Having heard all the pitches and gathered the information he needs, Dwight Howard is going off the grid for the weekend to weigh his options with his team of advisers.
Before the “what” and “when” of Howard’s free-agent decision, the All-Star center and his team must decide the “where.” Two options under consideration for Howard’s camp to consider his options, according to league sources: a resort area in Colorado and a remote ranch in Montana.
“Great meetings with @DwightHoward,” one of Howard’s agents, Happy Walters, tweeted on Wednesday. “Group going 2 get some mountain air to clear the mind and make some decisions.”
Once the location of Howard’s free-agent summit is determined on Wednesday, he and his representatives will begin the task of sorting through the options they’ve been presented with since the free-agent negotiating period opened on Monday at midnight ET. Does he stay with the Lakers or bolt for Houston, Dallas, Atlanta or Golden State?
And once he decides that, how and when will Howard deliver the news? The Miami Heat have nothing to do with this, but as their coach, Erik Spoelstra, might say: everything is on the table.
“The meetings were all very interesting,” a person involved in the process told CBSSports.com. “Each [was] very individualized for the team and city they repped. Super impressed by all.”
