I heard different on the rumored Maxi deal. they did not scoff at the deal and Dallas wasn't sure if they wanted to do that deal either. Also i have heard that they do have reservations about the high cost for that team and need to consolidate assets a bit since they had players who were not thrilled about their role.
Atlanta is the toughest part but i don't think they laugh the offer off. they considered Tobias when Philly was trying to incorporate them in Simmons deals so its not out of the box to think they might come back to that to save $20mil and pick up Maxi to take Tobias on for two years.
Everything I've read indicates Atlanta is looking for upgrades rather than to sell off good players for parts. I don't see them considering this deal either. Just too far off in value.
