I think our best basketball was in the first 2 games without Jennings and with a healthy Billups running the offense and gives the ball to Smith/Monroe in the post... Then all we know what happened...

We'd make the playoffs after this trade.

From Atlanta's perspective....no.

HELL, no.

Korver is a fan favorite and pretty integral to our offense at this point.

Horford is a building block, good citizen on a great contract. Monroe is not a step up from Horford.

We want NOTHING to do with Josh Smith anymore. There is a reason we didn't offer him a contract last summer.

You guys might be better served, though, by letting Monroe walk and just moving Josh to PF next season. A deep shooting SF is necessary to help spread the floor. You guys have talent, just not personnel that properly mesh. You also need a better coach. G Karl or L Hollins would be a good start.

I can tell you the main pieces ATL might be interested in from your roster:

1. Drummond (obviously)
2. KCP (think Danny Green, with one-on-one skills)
3. MAYBE Rodney Stuckey

worst case scenario: pistons finish with the 7th/8th worst record and get screwed out of their pick thanks to the lottery.

I don't get how anyone can see us as a top 8 worse team in the league???? There are just too many other bad teams.

We have been just as bad as everyone of those teams. Including blowout losses to the Jazz,Magic,Lakers,Pelicans and Bucks. We are a very bad team.

You don't have to be a worse team to have a worse record at the end.

I guess. I just have a hard time giving up on what I thought was a talented team.

Agree. Same as when I said we were the worst defensive team in the nba. If you don't look at the numbers, we're the worst defense in the nba BY FAR.
