Why would a bad team trade for him? Really "bad" in this case is a matter of internal perception... a bad team won't trade for a RFA about to get a hefty raise. A team that thinks it's on the rise will make that trade or an already contending team with cap space will make that trade.
He'll get paid the same either way (and probably have a better shot at hitting the bonus money thresholds in chicago) so why not? Don't get me wrong, personally I'd prefer he head east since I don't want the west getting stronger but it makes plenty of sense for him to go to the 'Hawks.
