ATL has given all the signs for the last year plus that they are not interested in paying JC an even near-max contract. So they can let him WALK for nothing OR they can work with either SAS or DAL (or whoever) to work out a sign and trade so they get some compensation and talent in return.
I think two things pretty confidently:
1) ATL doesn't want to pay JC.
2) ATL doesn't want to lose him for nothing.
Therefore sign and trade routes are the way I think they will go. And I think DAL and SAS will be both be interested in that route to a certain extent (depending on the asking price).
