The “Dwecision” has already taken over that basketball public’s imagination. And Dwight Howard is bringing Chris Paul along for the ride.
Right now the Atlanta Hawks are the team that is on everyone’s radar, but the list of possible destinations also includes Houston and Dallas.
The feeling here in my corner of Los Angeles is that CP3 isn’t going anyplace. Sign-and-trade rules changes have made it harder to superstars to team up as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have done in Miami, and the local rivalry between the Clippers and Lakers makes it highly unlikely that the hallway rivals would cooperate on such a mega-deal.
We’ll see where this story goes as the final two weeks of June come and go, but for now I feel Paul will be staying with the Clippers as I discuss with Noah Coslov in this CineSport video.

Someone should tell Dwight not to waste CP3’s time texting him about fantasy, unless they really want to play together in Atlanta, after Josh Smith becomes a free agent.
Apparently Chris Broussard doesn’t have the courage to inform Dwight, or else he likes the publicity this is bringing him.
Dwight will go to Houston with Harden and CP3 is staying in LAC, especially when they choose the coach of his liking.
It is possible for Houston to also get Josh Smith, if he doesn’t demand too much.
