NBA Trade Rumors: The Cleveland Cavaliers' "bold and aggressive" move for the Atlanta Hawks star is praised by Bobby Marks.

 

In an attempt to strengthen their roster, the Cleveland Cavaliers made a last-minute trade as the trade deadline draws near.

NBA Insider Shams Charania claims that the Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks have agreed a significant trade.

The following are the trade's complete details.


Cleveland Cavaliers receive:

De’Andre Hunter


Atlanta Hawks receive:

Caris LeVert
Georges Niang


three second-round picks and two swaps

Bobby Mark commends the addition of Hunter.

A club at the top of the league rarely makes a deal during the regular season, but the Cavaliers saw a great chance to strengthen their already formidable roster.

Except for Brian Windhorst's suggestion that Ben Simmons and Lonzo Ball might be good candidates for the Cavaliers, the team hasn't been involved in much trade rumors.


Hunter, who was a key bench player for the Hawks, is probably going to be immediately promoted to the Cavaliers starting five.

The former Hawk's 19-3-1 record demonstrates why he is regarded as one of the season's best bench players.


Since Trae Young is a huge Hunter admirer, it seems that Bobby Marks made the following statement: "Cleveland made a bold and aggressive move." A conference-leading team rarely makes a deal during the regular season.

According to Skip Bayless, the Celtics ought to be "concerned."


With a 41-10 record in the East, the Cavaliers are well ahead of their closest rivals, the Boston Celtics, the defending champs, who ought to be alarmed by the acquisition.


Hunter's expected role for the Cavaliers has been filled by Max Strus, and Bayless has stated that this gives them a significant threat.

"The Cavs just filled their one potential playoff hole with De'Andre Hunter, a big-time 3-and-D talent capable of playing big in the biggest games," Bayless stated. "The Celtics should be very concerned."

The Hawks, who have heavily relied on Hunter's bench this season, will be devastated by his departure. The Cavaliers are now an even more formidable candidate for the championship thanks to the qualities he brings to the team.

The biggest teams in the West should also pay attention; it's not just the Celtics who need to worry.
