He's a good versatile big forward who can score, but we're (the Wizards) in major rebuild mode... And you have two 1st round picks.
I've always liked Hunter personally, would you consider Kuzma + 2nd round pick for Hunter + the later 1st rounder (from Kings projected 20)?

This is an interesting proposal. And after 3 disappointing seasons in a row, all options are on the table for Atlanta.
The only Hawk player we can be sure will be around for the long haul is Jalen Johnson. Jalen will need floor spacers in the frontcourt and Kuzma can definitely provide that. Kyle's in his prime,
on a great contract and would provide depth at both forward positions while providing
more scoring, more rebounding, more playmaking than Hunter.
This, in all honesty, is a really attractive offer. If we're hoping to field a competitive team next season, this is a great place to start rebuilding the roster.
The only real concern on our end would be the drop off in defense.
But defensive minded role players are easier to find in free agency than high scoring forwards on affordable long term contracts.
