    This makes sense. I agree with your take.

    I hear you guys too. I will say though that we have a practically new team from last year that are 11 games into it. The starting line up has not been together that long. They are still defining themselves from a run and gun team to a half-court team. Their spacing is terrible, they cannot make entry passes to the post well, and they don't have the chemistry that allows Howard to instinctually and quickly pass out of the double team or collapsing defense. That is what made Hakeem great. That team had great chemistry and this will take time.

    ATL isn't trading away Millsap for nothing. He's their best or 2nd best player. He recently just had like a 30pt. 14reb. game. He's a good rebounder and defender and can score from everywhere on the court.

    Howard can't shoot jumpers which is why pick and rolls with him are limited. He isn't a smooth passer either like a divac or webber. His Iso game is hit or miss, so offensively you can't depend on him as of now. Maybe ever.

    If morey can't nab a big name guard like dragic or rondo, he should bring in average playmakers like ridnour. Everyone we have now is too based in being a specialist, and none of those specialties are being an actual PG.

    Big man situation is hopeless, go for the vets like dalembert or get Camby out of retirement. Team did move forward by letting parsons go, he doesnt help against the better teams, but there's much more to the puzzle.

    Just the thought of a possible trade makes me excited. Although I doubt it's going to happen. There just doesn't seem to be one that would make sense.
