Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Jae Crowder, 2024 First-Round Pick (Swap – CLE)
Phoenix Suns Receive: G/F Caris LeVert
Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F De’Andre Hunter, G Landry Shamet
Soon enough, we’re likely to find out about the relationship between the Atlanta Hawks and De’Andre Hunter, too.
After all, Hunter is due for his rookie extension this season. If the two sides don’t come to an agreement by October 17th, they’ll have to wait. That’s the deadline for teams to finalize rookie extensors.
If they can’t come to an agreement before that, Hunter will hit Restricted Free Agency next summer. That’s where we’ll really see how the Hawks value him.
If Hunter receives a lucrative offer, they’ll either have to match it or let him walk.

On the other hand, they could avoid making a decision altogether. If the Hawks aren’t sold on Hunter as part of their future, they could trade him before they have to make a decision.
Is this the right return for him?
