Next year will be year #3 of the "re-build".
There is ZERO excuse for not being a playoff contender after three years of re-building. If a head coach can't buid a contender in 3 years then he can't do it at all.
Since Atkins should still be a solid starter next year there is no reason to trade him away. All that would do would create another hole to fill and we have no one on the roster to fill that hole.
Trading away solid starters with a replacement hurts re-building. The only time to do that is in year one. If you are creating new holes for year three then you don't know how to re-build.
