Pretty much. Cavs only have a 1st in 2031 available which will not do anything to improve the team in the offseason unless they actually use it in a trade to add talent.

There is nothing/nobody from the cavs I would want in return unless it’s one of their 3 core guys. Can’t remember the last time I was excited for a trade they made.

Maybe Sheed/Joe and Sheed was lol.

Should be seeing a follow-up move since it's a 2 for 1 and we're over the tax by like 2.4 mill

Please buy Caris LeVert out now. He has no business on the court.

Who was the 4th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft?


De'Andre Hunter

We must do better with our draft picks.

Maybe not so quick, I pretty sure it's his most efficient season.
He had the 2nd Net rating diff of CLE in November, and the 1st one in December, then suddenly in January, he had the worst one, which is a bit intriguing to me.

Let's play him a bit to see what he's really worth. With our owner that don't want to spend, it can be a good thing to trade for players who didn't fit into their previous team, but can fit here, and be re-signed for less than their previous contract... :D

LeVert is a good player, the problem is, why trade away Hunter who can play little PF for a SG when the Hawks already have DD, Zac, and Kobe??

:o

Well, Kobe is out for the season.
Risacher is a combo forward who needs improvement in shooting, ballhandling and creation.
With Bogi moving on, team needed a veteran SG who can create his own shot off the bench.


Caris Levert fills a need as scoring wing off the bench. Plus his contract expires in 2 months.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
