Yeah, it's a weird contract in that it kind of works on the Hawks, only because they're so good at building around high priced superstars (although, it's now going to get ridiculous for them with both those contracts kicking in), but for most teams, adding even one star player at 10.5mil for 8 years is basically the end of their hopes of building a contender despite how good the player is.
I know Hawks fans think they'd likely get a ransom if he was traded, but I honestly don't see much of a market, when you figure;
The good playoff teams likely don't have the cap space, or desire to lose one or two of their own star players to fit him in, and the bad teams likely don't want to commit to that much salary for that long if they know they're not a cap spending/contender building team.
The field of potential homes gets narrowed down very quickly with those two factors, imo.
