The Suns brought Josh Smith in for a second tryout following a second tryout of Harris. This could mean they are really serious, or it could mean they are trying to mess with the Hawks.
The Hawks have a new owner and a basically revamped organization. There is no reason to believe they have any idea what they are doing. Now that they lost out in the chase for Howard, what are they going to do and who will decide.
In this scenerio, the Suns may be baiting the Hawks into taking Smith so they can think they are "stealing" him from the Suns. It is a ploy that has worked before against more sophisticated GM's.
