The Atlanta Hawks may be facing changes this offseason but they weren’t ready to shake things up this past season.
“Indiana explored…the concept of sending Chris Duarte plus draft capital to Atlanta for De’Andre Hunter during February’s trade deadline,” wrote Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports on June 15 citing the Pacers’ long-running search for a power forward earlier in the report.
They were a team Fischer linked to Hunter’s teammate John Collins in December.
“Another team to keep an eye on as a Collins destination is Indiana.” Fischer wrote of the interest in the Hawks’ longest-tenured player.
