Atlanta needs a quality point guard, plain and simple. Danielle Robinson will be 35 next season, and has been on a steady decline since 2021. And of course, she can't shoot from distance which allows her defender to sag into the paint after she passes the ball.
Aari McDonald is not the answer. She's a tiny point guard with a shaky three whose A/TO is below 2.0.
Who that point guard might be is another question entirely, as there aren't enough to go around. Natasha Cloud? She can't shoot either, though at least she's tall. Jordin Canada? Do you believe she's a 35% three-point shooter? Some players have learned mid-career (Jason Kidd, for one). Running back Robinson and McDonald will not get the Dream over the hump.

Haley Jones is right there.
Love to see it happen, but she has to make at least some threes.
