This week’s trade activity focused on veteran teams hoping to contend rather than true championship contenders. This is the first major mid-season reinforcement for Cleveland, which seeks to translate its current best record in the East into deeper playoff success.
The addition of Hunter, who has only played 16 postseason games so far, brings a valuable “3D+” skill set that suits the rigors of playoff basketball well. He excels as an individual defender and offers more shot creation compared to other wing players alongside Cleveland's four All-Stars.
Earning a backup role behind rookie sensation Zachary Rissache doesn’t diminish Hunter’s impressive performance this season; he averages 19.0 points per game—3.4 points higher than his previous career-best. His growth includes becoming a more aggressive three-point shooter with attempts rising from just under six last year to over six-and-a-half this season at an impressive rate of nearly 39% accuracy.
This shift towards high-value three-pointers reflects significant change: during the previous season (2022–23), he attempted almost as many two-pointers outside the paint (212) as threes (286). Now in contrast, he's taken significantly more threes (247) while reducing his long twos down to just over one hundred attempts (101). Notably, his effective field goal percentage has jumped from 56.3% up to around 61.6%. The value of these shooting choices cannot be underestimated.
Cleveland traded minimal assets regarding draft picks since their swap rights may not result in immediate consequences due mainly because they don't expect substantial returns based on their current standings against Atlanta or Utah by those future seasons involved in trades made recently involving pick swaps ahead." p >
