Nice city, warm weather, Al Horford will still be on the team, to go along with most likely a top pick. Why wouldn't they consider the Hawks?

Well because Chris Paul is already going to get a big deal in the equally warm city of Los Angeles on what is already a good team. And it is inevitable that Dwight Howard is going to Brooklyn.

Other than JJ, when was the last time the Hawks signed a marquee FA?

I don't think ATL has had the money to sign any superstars during their times of being in Free Agency.

Chris Paul is on a good team with a horrible coach and a horrible owner, with no stability.

And unless Dwight is signing for the MLE, he isn't going to Brooklyn.

I meant even before JJ. It's not like Atlanta is a large market team.

And why wouldn't CP and Dwight want to team up? Especially with Horford already in place. That could be a better team than LAC could create if they put everything together correctly.

Lol if you guys think that CP3 and Dwight are going to team up to play in Atlanta, then I guess whatever floats your boat lol.

I still don't believe we've had a chance to pursue any of the biggest FA's. There hasn't been a flood of superstar FA's anyways.

Lol because they definitely are looking at championships in the situations they are in right now...

There is no chance in hell that Chris Paul leaves LOS ANGELES, where he is currently playing with someone who is much better than Al Horford, to come play in Atlanta with Al Horford.

And with that said, Dwight would not go play in Atlanta without Chris Paul anyways.

Therefore 0/2 players will sign.

No matter how much you say Los Angeles, it's still the Clippers. No one wants to play for Sterling.

Dwight definitely wants to leave Orlando, and there's a good chance CP3 leaves. There aren't that many destinations.

Dwight's from ATL and CP's from NC, fairly close to home. I could see it.

CP3 and Dwight on a team is the best duo in the NBA.

Lol Dwight is much better than Blake and I believe CP would have a better chance with Dwight and Horford or Smoove than he would with Blake. I think Dwight would be fine in ATL, especially if we found a way to keep Smoove and acquire him.

Not true at all. We just saw Blake sign a deal with LA. I seen no reason that Chris wont do the same next season. Fact of the matter is, it is Los Angeles. Why else do you think these big name players, when asking for trades, say places like LA and Brooklyn. They want to play with a big market team. CP is in a good spot, and will stay there.

I believe having CP and Dwight would make ATL into a big market spot. It's not far off, just needs a superstar.
