You seriously don't know how bad McMillan's offense is if you think he should be a head coach again. Him and Mike D'Antoni need to work together, one taking care of defense alone (McMillan) and the other taking care of offense alone (D'Antoni). Unfortunately their ego's didn't allow it, because neither should be a head coach without a genius in the other department.
I think the Sonics should start completely new. Clear the back court, use the amnesty on Salmons or Hayes, trade the other along with Evans for anything (other than long term $) and build around Cousins, Robinson, and this years pick. They should move EVERYONE in the backcourt, including Thornton, Thomas, Brooks, the whole lot! They should also move Thompson, they're already giving more burn to Robinson lately. Move Thompson while he's got good value, he's probably their best asset outside of Cousins.
Collect expiring contracts, draft picks and build through the draft. If you can pick up a prospect here or there, give it a shot, but don't bet on other people's miscues. They rarely work.
