Chris Paul and Dwight Howard have been talking to each other about becoming teammates

[mbewane]

wouldn't be surprised AT ALL by this move, they're both overrated and would fit well in ATL

 

[AVXL]

CP3 & D12 in Atlanta? Horford would still be the go to guy. Still 2nd round fodder.

CP3 would be the unquestioned go to guy with Handsome Horford as his sidekick. D12 would get 15-20 on the block. Team would win 55-60 games a yr & probably contend for a title as early as next season of we resign Korver, ZaZa & Sweet Lou comes back 100%

I STILL don't see it happening though

I just saw somethiing that states if the Hawks sign CP3 and Dwight to max contracts, they'll have to trade Lou, John Jenkins, renounce ALL free-agents, give up a number 1 pick, and be forced to sign only min-level contract players to stay under the cap

Dwight and CP3 would HAVE to take paycuts like Bron, Wade, and Bosh did.

If they're talking about teaming up it's not going to be on the Lakers.

Two "cant get it done" players. Perfect fit for ATL.

NBA: Where could Dwight Howard and Chris Paul team up? - ESPN

Still, to clear enough room to sign both Howard and Paul to the max, Atlanta would have to trade Williams and either Jenkins or one of this year's two first-round picks without taking back any salary. The team could use the pick as a carrot to get a team under the cap or with a trade exception to take on Williams, whose contract is reasonable despite the ACL injury that ended his 2012-13 campaign.

The Hawks would have to renounce the rights to Smith and point guard Jeff Teague in order to make this all work. So Atlanta's cupboard would be nearly completely bare -- Horford, Howard, Paul and Jenkins along with one of the first-round picks and whatever free agents the team could sign using the "room exception" ($2.65 million, which could be split up) and the minimum salary. But Howard and Paul would be together -- and Atlanta is far and away the most realistic situation for making that happen.

fukk it, give me Blake over Dwight, Blake is younger, and he would flourish more on this team with fukktoni as coach still and with Nash too, but Blake would probably be center. But, trading Pau for a starting SF or C? That wouldn't be that bad. But, the 2013-2014 might be a bit of a wash, as the summer of 2014 seems to be the bigger concern.

CP3 (Best PG in the game)
Jenkins (next Dell Curry)
MLE
Horford(Top 15-20 NBA player to me the best PF in the NBA)
Howard(Best C in the game)

Lou (One of the best 6th man in the game)

Coach Bud (Genius like Thibs and Pop)
