You are correct except there were guys being shopped and guys that weren't. In one sense "everyone" outside of your stars are available but in a practical sense you are happy with some guys and just aren't going to trade them unless someone knocks your socks off which again is unlikely.
The guys being shopped were AG bc his time was up, Fournier bc his time was up. Vucevic was a guy I think that wasn't being shopped but they got such a good package from the Bulls that they pulled the trigger. Lowry was being shopped but only for an overpay it appears. Like there are guys on the move and guys that aren't. There was no reason to make Brunson available really because he's a great fit on a cheap contract. Furthermore, he's not an all-star like Vucevic so teams aren't going to call up Donnie offering him an overpay because why would they?
