So Ellis, Jefferson, Mayo, Teague/Schröder, Horford and Williams would get us a 7th/8th seed or worse but Teague, Smith and Horford had us a 6th seed(one game away from 5th seed) last year? Doesn't make sense.
I'm not sure why everybody likes their fans. A: They think we'll trade Josh Smith for Asik + Lin B: I read on their board at one point that the only players they'd trade Parsons for would be Lebron and Durant C: They think Horford is average and Harden is a top 5 player They think everybody wants to play for the Rockets and are extremely unrealistic at how good their team really is.
Schröder / Williams Korver / Jenkins / Cunningham Smith / MLE Horford / Scott/Johnson Howard / Bebe / Muscalla I really don't like Smith at the 3 but I would do it if we got Dwight. Maybe he'll even changes his ways with Howard and Coach Bud.
Howard and Harden would get a good duo but they're not winning a championship with that roster. If he is smart he grabs CP3 and forms the trio along with Horford. I still think ATL has the best shot to land him if he leaves LA.
Sam Amico just tweeted "When people ask about Dwight Howard & Chris Paul possibly with Hawks, I have a hard time blowing it off. NBA players really really love ATL." Please make this happen.
Here is a video from ESPN. Of course Stephen A talking crap about Atlanta. http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/9327713/chris-paul-upset-los-angeles-clippers-factor-impending-free-agency?src=mobile
I would take that offseason in a heartbeat. I was hoping we can move up and draft Shabazz. Not sure if the18th pick and 2 2nd rounders would get us a top 10 pick but would love that offseason for sure.
He hasn't mentioned anyone. It's all speculation. I have seen a couple articles saying that the Hawks have the best shot to land him if he leaves LA and a couple that say Houston.
