Steven Hunter?

[Rod700]

Smoove and Hortford (and the rest of the team ) could benefit from having a defensive veteran 7 footer anchoring the middle when the Hawks fall into one of their funks when they allow just about anyone into the lane to score. Smoove is great but he can't do it all. Should we be looking at Steven Hunter? He is a good defender with two years left on a deal worth less than 4 mill each year. He seems to be lost in the Nuggets rotation behind Camby, K-Mart, and Nene. They seem to hardly play him (unless he was injured and I just missed that). He seems obtainable though, and Denver might be looking to improve, given their poor playoff performance.

His salary matches perfectly with Zaza's, who would give them an expiring contract at the end of the year, and a 4th big man to fill out the roster the rest of this season. We could sweeten the deal by adding a 2nd rounder and/or agreeing to switch 1st rounders with them (ours being lottery protected) the first year our pick is higher. Is this feasible and worthwhile? Are there better offers we could make?
