Another day, another trade rumor for the Atlanta Hawks.
Only this time, it appears the Hawks were closer than ever to making one of the rumored deals that have been purported to be possible in recent weeks.
“The Indiana Pacers and Atlanta Hawks were making headway on a deal that would have sent De’Andre Hunter to the Pacers,” wrote Yahoo Sports NBA insider Jake Fischer on June 22 noting that the discussions “ultimately broke apart.”
Hunter’s, 24, inclusion in trade talks is a newer development this offseason, at least to the level that it has been.
