6. Why is Jason Terry difficult for the Atlanta Hawks to trade?
Um, because he's a 6'2" shooting guard? How about the fact that he popped off to his coach earlier this season? Actually, the main reason that JT is difficult to move is simply because of his contract. He's one of those base-year compensation guys, which means (in layman's terms) that he's essentially untradeable. He can be traded if the total deal is big enough for the 10% difference in value between the two teams to absorb the extra $3.5 million, but that would make the trade about $35 million each way - not very probable.

THE OAK AND THE WORM:
As for Rodman, he's putting in his work in the ABA at the moment. He pulled down 14 boards in 28 minutes in his first game, and 8 boards in 19 minutes in his second game before removing himself from the game with some kind of a calf strain.
The Worm may or may not get himself back into NBA shape. If he does, a team like the Lakers will take a shot with him. But if he doesn't, if you were a team like the Atlanta Hawks, what's the downside to taking on Rodman, even if he's terrible? The team would see a spike in attendance, and depending on how bad Rodman is, could actually get worse without looking like they're tanking to get the top draft pick. No lose situation.
THE MEEK 5:
27. Atlanta. It's never a good sign when opposing players suggest moving the franchise.

ATLANTA HAWKS: At the midway point of this season there are probably a lot of things the Atlanta Hawks would rather forget, but at the same time there have been some good times, too. There have been upset victories, there have been some great individual and team performances, and there have been times when fans just scratch their heads and wonder what is going on. Either way, these Hawks are anything but boring.
