to be fair though they have missed 2 starters all season long.

IMO with those 2 guys heathly they are the 5th best team in the East (Orl, Bos, Atl, Cle are better). Not championship material obviously but how many teams win some 45-50 games within 3,4 seasons after seriously "tanking" ?
Plus there last run they were a solid team for a couple years before making a big jump as well.

I agree that they need to find an identity and start doing sth well, but that´s hard to judge until Hamilton and Prince come back and all those other guys can get back to playing their role.

I´d trade Stuckey though, don´t see the apeal at all. What´s the incentive of having a PG with below-average playmaking ability and no 3 point shot that needs the ball to score ? Especially when :
-your best scorer needs the ball as well (but has a great jump shot and simply better)
-your 2nd best scorer relies on getting open via ball screens
-you have a couple more decent scorers (Villanueva and Prince) that need a healthy amount of catch and shoot oportunities
-you have a copy cat coming off the bench (Will Bynum)
-your front court people are basically only able to score in Pick and Roll Situations or from point blank range (Wallace, Brown, Wilcox, Maxiell to an extent)

seriously, i´d sell as long as the value is high.
