20/9/13CP3 joins Dwight on new-look SpursIt's a move that has been rumoured and speculated about for years. But finally Dwight Howard and Chris Paul are team-mates.
Ever since LeBron's 'decision', the whole idea of superstars joining forces to create so-called super-teams has been all the rage.
Allegedly the pair have been trying to make this a reality since they were still playing for the Magic and Hornets respectively.
They appeared to both be headed to the Lakers to join Kobe a couple of seasons ago, but Paul's trade was vetoed at the death.
He instead found himself traded to the Clippers and their plan ruined. Dwight then got his move to the Lakers a season later.
The Mavericks were touted as a potential home for the pair this season, but their Texas neighbours beat them to the punch.
They may not have Kobe or Dirk on their team, but there are a few great guys that will be able to help them push for a championship.
Kawhi Leonard is an emerging star who is an excellent defender. Coach Pop will be delighted with his new group's defensive talents.
Nick Young will take up some of the offensive slack that Ginobili's absence leaves. He was a big part of the 76ers success last year.
Then you have some solid role players coming off the bench like Danny Green and veterans like Corey Maggette and Dahntay Jones.
The Clippers are still shocked at losing the guy they gave up talented youngster Eric Gordon for. But they shouldn't get too down.
You could even argue that their team is better now than before this trade. They've added a wealth of championship experience.
Who better to replace the guy who fed Griffin so many assists than the guy who played alongside Tim Duncan for over a decade.
Their roster now boasts 9 rings combined. Lamar Odom, Jamal Crawford and Grant Hill on the bench only add to the experience.
It will be interesting to see how both of these teams do this season. Both will no doubt have Oklahoma City firmly in their sights.
The Thunder had a perfect season last year. They topped the western conference before winning the NBA Finals against the Bucks.LA Clippers receive
