Chris Broussard ? @Chris_Broussard

Sources: CP3 & D12 hope to team up next season. Have been texting back & forth to figure it out. Story up soon on LINK

*cue "Sources" pic...

quote:

Chris Paul and Dwight Howard have been in consistent contact recently about the possibility of becoming teammates next season, according to league sources.

..."They would love to play together if somebody can make it happen," one of the sources said.

The Atlanta Hawks could make it happen. Atlanta, which is Howard's hometown, has the cap room to sign both players to maximum-salaried contracts.

Howard is not particularly fond of the idea of returning to Atlanta, but he would do so to team up with Paul, the sources said.

...The preference for both players would be to play together for the Clippers, according to the sources. Because the Clippers don't have enough cap room to sign Howard as a free agent, it would take a sign-and-trade deal with the Lakers to make it happen.

...But while trading Howard to a team in their own building seems unthinkable, the Lakers are not likely to get a better trade package elsewhere than say, Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe.

How could houston get them? Harden is on max contact and no one will want lin and his contact in a trade.

Mavs would be best I think.

Really don't care for superstars pairing up to form "super teams", but it is becoming the norm. I'm a huge LBJ fan and hated the Miami decision. I said when it happened that I would rather see him win 1 title in Cleveland than 10 in Miami

I'll be very suprised if Howard doesn't end up in Houston next season. All signs point to that being the case, his friendship with Harden, he wants to play for McHale, and the media market.

It's a pipe dream to think that the rockets could land both. Lin has a big contract, Asik is due a large amount of money, Parsons will get paid next season, Harden's contract is backloaded like a mother.

If they both end up in Dallas, I may throw up.

It says alot when my favorite team is in The Finals and all I can think of at the moment is that I've never wanted to see a player fail and be outed as a fraud and fake more than Howard

I've changed my stance on this

I hope they team up. They actually deserve each other. It would be like the old soap opera edge of night
