Can't possibly hurt.

Also, I don't see why people keep mentioning Atlanta. They're not that talented outside of the people they'd have to move to make room for him and Dwight. Without Dwight, Atl is the Clippers without the potential upside for big man improvement.

People are kidding yourselves if you think the freaking Hawks will be a player. Atl can't even support their football team that well (especially considering how good they are right now), what makes you think anyone wants to play there?

1) LAC
2) HOU
Distant 3) NOLA

LAL (if they find the nuts to amnesty Kobe)
MIA (if someone is dumb enough to take Bosh off their hands)

The Lake Show COULD get Paul, but they would have to amnesty Kobe and likely offload a few pieces, like Nash, for nothing in return.

If Miami can do it, I'm not sure how. They are at $85m right now and would have to get their payroll down to the high 50s or low 60s to even do a sign-and-trade.

Not true at all. Atlanta can easily dump Lou Williams and Jenkins. Picking Horford or Smith/some other FA will affect how much of a paycut they take, but they can easily do a Big 3 build in Atlanta.
