Clippers do not have the cap room to sign Dwight and Chris Paul. So Paul is stuck with its current roster unless the Celtics decide to trade with the Clippers for Garnet and Paul Peirce.

Me personally I would rather have a combination of Chris Paul, Dwight Howard & Al Horford than Paul, Blake Griffin & Jordan.
The other option is Dallas but Dirk's game won't last long. Al Horford is under contract for 3 more years also and he can finally play the 4 position.
How does this effect the Jazz?
Jeff Teague
He is a restricted free agent. Normally we back off of these types of free agents after never getting Jason Terry, Elton Brand & Corey Maggette. And it tied up our funds so we didn't get much talent that year(2003) while everyone else that we could of signed went elsewhere.
BUT
If this did happen we could easily steal Jeff Teague from the Hawks. They couldn't afford to match a contract offer from us.
I know it might seem unlikely but if I was in Chris Paul's position I would go to the Hawks with Dwight & Horford rather than stay with the Clippers which would really be beneficial to the Jazz.
