Joe for Arenas?

is this a good trade?
Joe
pros: great size, and can cause mismatch problems for the other team. not a distraction off the court.
cons: 6'9 SG (i see him standing next to Josh and they look like the same hight) but really doesn't use his size and strength to dominate other SG. not a max player.
Arenas
pros: considered by some as a top 10 player. can do everything that Joe can do and is slightly better at taking over games and closing games.
cons: could be a distraction. not an elite player (but is a legit max player). has a big contract and could the possibility hurt the Hawks at getting a good player at a decent contract this summer.
seems like the Hawks are a good team, but nobody considers the Hawks a legit championship team because they don't have that true closer. even with the possible distractions, could Gilbert give the Hawks that little edge they need not to blow second half leads?
