At the draft combine, a lot of NBA teams will ask a player to guess how many basketballs would fit in the room where the interview is held. The perfect answer is "I would start on the losing team and turn them into a winner." RT @WPBoyt @AlexKennedyNBA What do teams want to hear? My all-time favorite question that a team asked players at the NBA draft combine: "What kind of weed do you smoke?" Most players cracked up. Every year at the draft combine, at least one NBA team always asks: "Would you rather start on a losing team or sit on a winning team?" The answer that the NBA team wanted to hear from players was that they would tip the blender over and crawl out. Weirdest question a team asked at the NBA combine: "If you were the size of a pen and you were trapped in a blender, how would you get out?"

We'll get into free agency rumors once July gets closer. Also, Dwight Howard is going to take his time and meet with a lot of teams. Mitch Kupchak wanted him to make decision quickly, but he won't. That was completely intentional. RT @The_Outro @AlexKennedyNBA is Houston mentioned before LA for a reason? Or was that just coincidence?
