Frankly, if he does it this offseason it will make me wonder wtf he was doing all these years beforehand if that was all it took. Just never worked on it before even when it was the gaping hole in your game and was hurting your teammates? Nah. I don’t think CC is that kind of lazy. Just a skill he doesn’t have and almost certainly never will. I agree. I don’t see a true jumper for Clint coming. Making his layups would be nice though. And of course his FT for GM. by the way @Gray Mule how you feeling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather quite on that front this summer. Any updates? @thecampster @NBASupes They had talks with both players. Seems to be a priority to get both done for a reasonable deal.

A big would need to be able to pick up that dribble and pass to a spot up shooter more than likely in that scenario. The only bigs getting to the hook shot from that starting point are Jokic, Embiid, and KAT. Everyone else is getting ripped off in the lane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Short update: Hunter Trade chatter has started up in the background around Hunter. Nets, Philly, Charlotte, Clips, Portland around teams mentioned with interest. I haven't looked at what the trades would be. This is early in the chatter. Low chance anything gets done before camp but interesting there's been conversations again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecampster Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 But if we start seeing stories on this, trade proposals in the digitals papers about it, we'll know this is legit chatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question about his value. There's a feeling that Hunter is better than he's showing on the Hawks. Feeling that he has less room to work with Capela always in the lane, Trae demanding the ball so much. The feeling is on a team with a ranged center, etc, Hunter could evolve into a very good iso option/2nd option. I don't see him having that much talent but it only takes 1 team paying that for him. There is also no knowing what the offers/discussions are yet and who started them (us/them). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Popular Post BangHolman Posted August 25, 2023 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 I like Hunter as our 3&D guy with Snyder's guidance. I don't want to trade him for crap just to trade him. I feel better about what we did with JC because he really didn't fit anymore. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya it definitely opens space up for him to do his thing with JC out of the scheme. Having said that, JC wasn’t really a lane clogger per se so Hunter had chances. He would definitely be a better individual player as far as stats on a team without Trae and DJ but if he does what he needs to do, he could thrive under Quin.. One thing remains though, he needs to toughen up more and draw even more fouls and get to line to cash in on those Trae drive n dishes. Hunter has to progress and take it up a level or three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post macdaddy Posted August 25, 2023 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm just hoping we get some cash considerations back if we trade Hunter. I'd hate to not get anything out of it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phunkabilly Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'm surprised Schlenk never convinced the Wizards to go after him. I know he values flexibility, but that was his boy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
