Atlanta is ranked 30th in 3pt shooting and 23rd in fg percentage. As Woj pointing out, Atlanta would be a terrible destination because of their lack of good shooting. Their problem with an inside presence has been due to injuries. Collins missed a shit load of time in the beginning of the season, And Lens has been injured off and on. So both have not played on the court together for long stretches. Atlanta needs shooting more than anything else. Plus their not a contender or playoff team. So even if he goes to them it will not be any different than being in Detroit.

Even though okc shoots 20th in the league from 3 , their overall fg percentage is ranked 8th. They have 4 players who can get their shot at any place on the court, so you can’t double in the paint or play off them. Boston is the same way, 4 players who can get their shot anywhere on the court. And Boston is top 16 in fg percentage and top 13 in 3 point shooting. Plus Boston’s centers are injured and are injury prone. They need Drummond the most to me to get over the top.

As far as Paul being 35, that’s irrelevant. James is the same age. Also, I would not say that paul hands down is their best player. All our clutch in the 4th quarter considering that the top 4 clutch players in the league are those 4 players, 1-4. And OKC is the top scoring team in the 4th. So be careful with speaking in absolutes.

Pistons are looking for an expiring contract(s) and a first rounder. Okc has 12 draft picks, so ,no, it would not take a lot to get him.

To compete or be in the playoffs, a team like Boston or okc would be the place to go, not the hawks. But from Detroit stand point, it does not matter where he goes , as long as they get something of value in return.
