    Smith was a free bird, and he wasn't on a bird team or anything, he was just a disgruntled player who wanted out via trade lr buyout.

    So who are the disgruntled players in the league right now?

    JJohnson, ex Hawk like Smith (This would be my guess)
    Markieff
    Lee

    Who else?

    Yes, Dwights new contract is the problem.
    But ATL has a bigger problem with Holford, he maybe leaves ATL ( and they recieves nothing in return)
    ATL is DH hometown
    maybe they can afford giving him the max or something close

    DH
    Millsap
    Korver
    Bazemore
    Schroeder

    and for us
    we can move Lawson for something

    Teage/Bev
    Harden
    Ariza/ Brewer
    DMo/Smith
    Holford/ Cappella

    Maybe we are looking to free the other bird that flew to the Clips from last year's playoff team, Pablo Prigioni?

    The Rockets cannot reacquire Prigioni this season, since they traded him to Denver when he still had a year left on his deal. (Denver subsequently waived him before he signed with the Clippers.)

    Any more hints? Da Birds was a curious gem.

    I think Larry Bird is past his prime.

    Nene.
    There are others who are disgruntled but will not get bought out.
    Tucker, JJ in Toronto, Bellineli, Jefferson, Pau , Martin etc etc.

    And Morris won't get bought out either.

    If Atlanta wanted to trade Horford AND teague they can get a milion times better package than Dwight's bird rights.

    Avery Bradley would be cool. Plus he's a Longhorn so maybe that'll help get Durant here. #HookEm
