But I was thinking about how well Joe Johnson would fit on this team. If Atl decides to blow it up around the deadline and just build around Horford, Teague, etc and attaining Chris Paul or another top tier player is no longer realistic, we should consider a deal for Johnson. We will need to bargain hunt for another second tier star anyway because we are in win-now mode. Sign Aaron Gray or Kwame Brown this summer to upgrade the center position and at the deadline deal Billups, Fields, Turiaf, Balkman, and cash for Joe Johnson and Kirk Hinrich.
C Gray/Jordan
PF Stoudemire/Williams
SF Anthony/Walker
SG Johnson/Douglas
PG Hinrich/Shumpert
This could be a contender. Most will feel Johnson's contract is not tolerable, and if that is the case, what other second tier stars might be available to upgrade this team?
