Taylor Buckley: OVER. Adding Dwight Howard somewhat negates the effects of losing Teague and Horford. Not by much, but I think they get over 43 wins

Ryan Snellings: UNDER. Losing Horford and Teague will hurt. I don’t think Dwight will be much more than a decent replacement. Same goes for Schroeder.

Parker Fleming: OVER. Barely over. Dwight Howard is a nice replacement for Horford. Millsap is a beast. Head coach Mike Budenholzer has turned Atlanta into Wings University. A wing combo of DeAndre’ Bembry, Taurean Prince, Kyle Korver, Kent Bazemore and Thabo Sefolosha is not a pushover group by any means. This team will go as far as Dennis Schroeder takes them.

Ian Pierno: OVER.

Ryan Schmitz: UNDER. Losing Teague and trading Dwight Howard for Al Horford doesn’t seem like an offseason that will warrant wins to me. I like the idea of retooling and think Prince is a nice prospect, but I think this team struggles. I do however, think Dwight Howard will be closer to Magic Dwight, than Rocket Dwight.

Jacob Collins: OVER. Dwight Howard is awesome. He isn’t as versatile as Al Horford on offense but he is still one of the best overall centers in the league. The Schroeder experiment will be fun. Watch out for slippage from Korver and others that could cause this team to slip. Also, Paul Millsaps is one of the best two-way forwards in the NBA.
