mfclark-I'm going to respectfully disagree. In respect to the main topic of the thread: after watching Hightower play head to head against Dermarr (albeit summer league action) I think he had just as good (if not better) 2-guard skills as Johnson. On top of that he had ball-handling skills like a point. I also know for a fact that coming out of Indian Hills C.C. many scouts viewed him as a 2.
Sorry, Just a quick rambling thought. I was thinking Willis as an addition to whatever package the rockets offered to even up the salary numbers. KT and Moochie would be likely canidates for a trade with Atlanta. Mo T would be a possible canidate if it weren't for the salary and injury. I stick by Atlanta needing a fourth big man behind Rahim, Ratliff, and Nazr. Unless they got someone ready to have a breakout year, one injury (I'm not talking season injury...three weeks without one of their big men and it could be over) spells the end to their playoff hopes.
