Right, so if we know that, then obviously, so do they. Kind of seems like motivation on their part to get it done now, don't you think?

Yes.  I literally posted right after the trade announced that doing it without including Mavs might give Mavs more leverage.  Hopefully they are motivated to pull the trigger, but honestly if I was a Hawks fan I would probably prefer to focus on the longer term with my youngish core and great pick.
