They just FINESSED The Hawks...

Atlanta Hawks fans, Atlanta Hawks fans, man you know why I am here. Welcome back to Hawks Digest. I am Chris Tip Moore. Extremely insane, shocking, massive breaking news I have coming out of the NBA regarding our Atlanta Hawks. This is all a trade video. Trade deadline was at three o'clock the Atlanta Hawks just made a move and this is the move that they just made according to Shams the Atlanta Hawks are trading DeAndre Hunter I report they are trading DeAndre Hunter I also made a video yesterday regarding this saying that the Cleveland Cavaliers were interested in getting DeAndre Hunter in a trade that was surrounding Caris LeVert now some people they weren't they weren't too excited about it they thought that maybe it could be fake news but this morning also Mark Stein a trusted source in the NBA behind trades scenarios contracts you know different things that they report over there at the Stein line he was already saying that the Cavs Hawks remain engaged in trade talks on DeAndre Hunter and the deal for DeAndre Hunter so you had that source and now you have shams coming out saying that DeAndre Hunter is no longer an Atlanta Hawk Caris LeVert George Niang and three second round picks and two pick swaps that's what the Atlanta Hawks get for DeAndre Hunter. Caris LeVert is on the expiring contract at 16 mil. So that's what they traded for. They traded for picks and they traded for expiring contracts. They cut salary. That's exactly what the Atlanta Hawks just did. They cut salary. DeAndre Hunter was averaging almost 20 points per game, almost four rebounds per game, getting you close to two assists in the last 20 games he was averaging 18 points almost four rebounds with 3.8 again 1.8 on the assists almost two fifty percent from the field could fifty percent this guy was shooting high numbers right here only three games the Laker game uh in the last 20 i'm talking about the Laker game the Raptors game second time and of course the Pacer game those were all games where he did not score over double digits other than that 17 other games he at least had 10 points and that's what the Cleveland Cavaliers now have at their disposal guys I'm sorry this right here again you already missed out on Brandon Ingram mixed reactions about that mixed reviews because again he only played 18 games this season and plays since December 7th but of course you were taking a risk on him by hoping that he can fill it up from the on the offensive end and give you something because you lost a 20 point score but you were outbid by a draft pick in that deal and now he's in Toronto now DeAndre Hunter joins the Cleveland Cavaliers the number one seeded Cleveland Cavaliers why would you even help them because the Atlanta Hawks wanted to cut salary ladies and gentlemen they do not this move right here indicates they do not want to win this year you already had a 20 point score off your team he's gone with the torn labrum in Jalen Johnson now you trade away DeAndre Hunter another nearly 20 point score so that's 40 almost 40 points per game that you're losing what kind of message does that send to your all star Trae Young I know he's not an all-star to the NBA but he's an all-star to Hawks fans he's a guy that's you know been an all-star on the all-star team for the Atlanta Hawks representing mostly for the most part it's been him we are still chasing a deal that will help the Atlanta Hawks like the Lou Williams Rajon Rondo trade this right here is nothing just to stay under the salary cap excuse me under the luxury tax and take on expiring contracts cutting salary DeAndre Hunter was at least 23 24 and his contract was going to go up every year until it was over in 27 now we've been waiting for DeAndre Hunter to have a season like he's been having since we drafted him and as soon as he starts having a season like he has we do something like this and we cut the salary and we cut the player and we're moving forward i don't agree with the move guys i don't think it's a winning move especially not this season this season is definitely i don't want to say shot you never know what you what can really happen maybe this will open the door for Risha Shea maybe Dyson Daniels um george niang i mean he is a three point shooter but that's all he's a three point specialist that's the most thing that he's known for and then you still have these second round picks I mean yeah you accumulate some second round picks back because you did trade for Sadiq Bey and that was five second round picks so i mean you did recoup some second round picks back by trading away Dejounte DeAndre Hunter but three second round picks two pick swaps Caris LeVert who's on an expiring contract i highly doubt you keep him George Niang three-point specialist but definitely not moving the needle definitely not moving the needle guys so like this right here again it just indicates to me that the Atlanta Hawks unless something else happens before the trade deadline is over this right here is not a winning move not this season guys now I just got to keep it real with you over here at Hawks Digest it's not a winning move it's still time we still got at least like an hour left or a little bit less when this video comes out but DeAndre Hunter guys no longer an Atlanta Hawk he is gone peace and blessings to you guys see you in a minute at Hawks Digest thank you guys for always tuning in and making us your first listen when it comes to hawks news all the time because that's all we talk here at Hawks Digest
