Skin was mentioning Haywood as a viable trade asset in regards to getting someone like Joe Johnson...I thought that was kind of interesting. But then, we're basically screwed at the center position. You have to get creative with DUST and you're MLE/BAE to get bigs.


Joe Johnson is good, but just like you said he seems to force up a lot of jump shots. And that's the last thing we need is another jump shooter. If we can keep Haywood and get someone that drives to the hole. I can live with that

It makes sense if you have a plan that can be executed to bolster the center spot. Atlanta would want Haywood to battle against Howard and Howard has said that Haywood is a great defender and gives him trouble.

The problem is we clearly can't beat around the bush and hope to have a second or third tier player come here and have the "new landscape" fix him and maximize the potential. We've been doing it for too long and getting the same results. So we have to go for the big fish, the problem is there aren't a whole lot out there and things have to fall our way to make it happen. Joe's situation definitely is presenting itself as an opportunity, but it's definitely wait and see.

Yeah it's almost like the summer can't get here fast enough. Honestly it's like pick you poison on who we'd give up to get what in return. But with that being said so far the only bandwagon that i'm definitely on is the trade Damp bandwagon. See what we can get for him and I guess just build off of that
