Well I agree that he used the Hawks as a bargaining chip, but why wouldn't he go onto the Hawks? Don't take this the wrong way, but the Clippers were perennial basement dwellers before last year. Sam Cassell helped turn that around (and most players would want to stay). But if Atlanta gave him considerably more money, he could go to Atlanta to try to turn that young, talented, but very inexperienced franchise around, similar to how he played a pivotal role in the Clipper's first playoff game in a long time.
