    I don't understand the idea behind this trade, why add another SF to the mix and take away the starting PG.

    I can't see any reason to do this either.

    they may feel the defense of ewill is more valuable than atkins, also may be wanting to push banks into starting role

    Banks isn't ready to start. EWill is only going to take up pt from the younger guys. The only thing he can really offer the team is lockerroom leadership. There's no point in trading Atkins for him.
