The Paul rumor has grown on me, as has the Gafford to ATL idea. I've said before that I want to keep things simple this offseason and try to have some sense of continuity.

Step 1: Draft Cooper Flagg
Step 2: Trade Gafford for Pick #22 (Walter Clayton Jr.)
Step 3: Trade Hardy for a future SRP
Step 4: Sign Chris Paul
Step 5: Sign Kai Jones to standard contract
Step 6: Ink Kyrie to a new 3-year deal
Step 7: Sign PJW to a 4-year extension

Irving | Paul | Williams
Klay | Christie | Clayton Jr.
Flagg | Naji | Martin
PJW | Omax
AD | Lively | Jones | Powell

I assume this includes time at PF for AD? Otherwise the frontline gets vulnerable really quickly. 

FWIW, I am interested in seeing what Williams can do with a little stability in his team status and an offseason to work on skills needed for keeping the DAL job. I know he's under sized a bit, but he brings a pace and energy that is often needed. Flagg seems to like to up the pace, so I could see them combining to bring a new dimension to the offense if Williams continues to develop.
