De'Andre Hunter Could Be Traded
1 year agoAtlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter is reportedly being explored as a possible trade candidate this offseason. It seems odd that the Hawks would trade Hunter after recently signing Hunter to a hefty extension. However, fellow forward AJ Griffin has emerged as a solid contributor and is in need of more playing time. That being said, it sounds like the Hawks are willing to listen to offers for Hunter. The former No. 4 overall pick is owed over $20 million per season through 2026. He averaged 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists through 67 games last season. Hunter is a fairly decent player, but injuries have held him back early in his career. It remains to be seen what kind of trade value he has with his current contract.
