    Clutch just tweeted this:

    Expected start time for @DwightHoward Rally Saturday is 12:30pm. "Cool Zones" will be set up for heat. Still hinges on Jrue trade approval.

    Was just gonna post this. So funny considering all the rumors ESPN put out there about GS and then about the 50/50. Yahoo is b**** slapping ESPN over and over.

    Yeah, ESPN is really getting taken out back and beaten down by Yahoo during this free agency period. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are too blind/ignorant to give a crap. ESPN feeds them their daily dose of small-market bashing, and hip buzzwords set to Kanye and Linkin Park music, so they're content.

    'Still waiting on approval.'

    Good luck on that rally tomorrow. Take your time Jrue. Don't rush that honeymoon.

    Couldn't New Orleans or Philly just send a team doctor/trainer to the honeymoon location where jrue holiday is and complete it that way?

    Or..just waive the physical in general. I mean, there has to be a loophole around this. This deal was agreed to on Friday and now it's taking this long to be official?

    Doesn't look right or feel right either... it's losing a lot of traction and fun honestly. Dwight should have been holding up his Rockets jersey smiling for the cameras yesterday first thing.

    What does Jrue have to do with anything?

    his physical is pending and he is on his honeymoon. The Rockets need the Philly trades (Noel/Holiday and Royce White) to go through before they sign Dwight officially.

    I still can't believe we actually got him...Amazing, however already see so many Rockets bandwagoners here in Australia.

    Whatever though! Still happy!

    Nope, this fan rally is outside. Media-only press conference inside.

    I'm assuming the press conference will be televised live through CSN? I think I'd rather do that.
