Yeah, I don't get this for the Hawks. Hunter was locked up and they could have gotten more value for him had they waited. Not as bad as the Dallas/Luka trade, but harder to understand. At least I understand what Dallas was thinking.
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!

As for the Jets . . . just keep it entertaining.

I guess cap space is an argument. Still, just giving talent to the cavs feels like a middle finger to the other teams in the league. Maybe the Cavs will run into salary problems this off season, but still.

The Hawks are great at building franchises - in other cities.
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!
