It doesn't mean Dallas gets Atlanta's (now) seven available seconds. Some could be used as outgoing to help Dallas send out salary to a third team.
One thing to note. The agent was extremely vocal and aggressive, which tells me he thinks he has an extension in his back pocket somewhere. He's gone radio silent on AD lately. Not sure that means anything, but the two teams in play when he was being aggressive were Atlanta and Toronto.
There is not much logic in that Vit/Reath deal would be a precursor to AD to Atlanta trade, imho. With the move Atlanta created a roster spot (when they dump Reath, which is expected). Davis salary would most likely mean Atlanta would be sending out more players than receiving. I don't want to say that Atlanta would not trade for Davis, but I don't think that move had much to do with it.
