The Bucks offered Kyle Kuzma in a trade to the Cavs for De’Andre Hunter
The NBA trade winds are blowing with the deadline just a week away. With Milwaukee Bucks It is expected that the team will be active in the market, they have reportedly participated in trade negotiations with Cleveland Cavaliers the last days. In an effort to bolster the roster to help Giannis Antetokounmpo, The Bucks recently offered Kyle Kuzma in a trade for Cavs forward De’Andre Hunter, according to ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel.
However, even as the Cavs continue to look to move under another apron at the deadline, they aren’t particularly interested in trading Kyle Kuzma to the Bucks, nor are they quick to give up on De’Andre Hunter.
The Cavs haven’t exactly been a model of consistency this season, especially compared to the regular season success they had last year. But they did currently on a four game winning streak and are 28-20, good enough for the current 5th seed in the Eastern Conference standings. They are also just one game back of the New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors who are in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.
And Hunter was a very productive player for the Cavs this season. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, this is his first full season with the team after being acquired from the Atlanta Hawks at the trade deadline. As Siegel reported, if the Cavs were to potentially trade Hunter, they wouldn’t want less than what they gave up to acquire him. It was a package for Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and multiple second-round picks and a couple of pick trades.
Hunter has appeared in 41 games this season, including 23 starts, logging just over 26 minutes per game. He averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists while shooting 42 percent from the field, 30.6 percent from the 3-point line and 87.9 percent from the free throw line.
