The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
If Millsap is truly available then Toronto have to make a move for him surely? Lowry/DeRozan/Millsap is clearly better than anyone outside Cleveland in the East and if one of Love or Kyrie gets injured you'd have a puncher's chance against the Cavs in a series. If Lebron was hurt I think they'd be better.

He's still hitting 40% of his 3s and he's about to get way more wide open looks. He's fallen off a little bit only because his peak was being like literally the most accurate outside shooter of all time

If Lebron was hurt, half the east can beat the Cavs

I don't really watch the Hawks much but see that they are 19-16 and in the fifth seed, yet from the general vibe around them this year I'd have guessed they were below .500 and a fringe playoff team. Why blowing it up this year when you didn't last year in basically the same position, when you could've gotten something for Horford rather than letting him walk and more for Millsap than you will now.

It just comes across as a front office that hasn't had a clear plan since the 4-0 utter beatdown by the Cavs in the 2015 playoffs. They just ran it back last season and got exactly the same result and now are panicking, presumably because Howard didn't magically turn back into Orlando MVP level Howard.
It's hard to have an actual plan in that situation beyond hoping for magical transformations, like the kind that got them a 60 win season out of nowhere in the first place. Plus I imagine it's a hard sell to the owners to blow up a team that won 60 the previous year with very little roster turnover when you're at all worried about ticket sales or your TV audience.

Kyle Korver is gonna be more open than if he was by himself in the gym. Or he's gonna open up even more lanes for Kyrie and LeBron. Jesus

How much should the Raptors invest on "maybe Cleveland suffers one or more catastrophic injuries?" Because trading for Millsap will probably be expensive for moving them from losing in the ECF to losing in the ECF.

Kyle Korver on the Cavs is nasty, basically takes up the JR spot. Does this signal the Hawks blowing it up?

Why rebuild now instead of last offseason or earlier when you could have gotten something more substantial for Horford/Teague?
