Can you honestly say you’re surprised? The Atlanta Hawks are reportedly after Stan Van Gundy to be their next head coach in hopes that his presence will give them a shot at signing free-agent superstar Dwight Howard.

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul have Dirk Nowitzki’s approval. Which should come as no surprise.
