克利夫兰骑士队评估:A-
This week’s trade activity primarily focused on veteran teams aiming for championship contention rather than true title contenders. For the first time this season, Cleveland made significant mid-season additions to transform their Eastern Conference best record into deeper playoff success.
A key addition is De’Andre Hunter, who despite having played only 16 postseason games, possesses a valuable skill set of shooting and defense that suits the rigors of the playoffs well. Hunter stands out as a solid one-on-one defender while providing more shot creation compared to other wings alongside Cleveland's four All-Stars.
This season marks Hunter's career-best performance with an average of 19 points per game—3.4 points higher than his previous personal best. His improvement has been evident; he's developed into a more aggressive three-point shooter this year, averaging 6.7 attempts at a commendable rate of 39% from beyond the arc.
The shift in his shooting selection is notable: last season he attempted almost as many long two-pointers (212) outside the paint as three-pointers (286). This year, however, his number of three-point attempts has surged to nearly double those inside (247 vs.101), contributing to an increase in effective field goal percentage from 56.3% to an impressive 61.6%. The value derived from improved shot selection cannot be overstated.
The advanced metrics suggest that while Hunter performs decently overall—his steal rate being low at just one every36 minutes and blocks even lower—the Cavaliers' roster featuring Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley should minimize these concerns while amplifying his defensive strengths against larger wing players during crucial matchups given his height advantage over others like LeVert or Max Strus.
Cleveland managed minimal costs concerning draft assets for this deal without incurring luxury tax penalties by swapping picks wisely; it seems unlikely they will need swap rights for future years unless Atlanta significantly underperforms relative its own expectations which could mitigate any potential risks involved here.
The real risk lies within salary commitments down-the-line—as contracts extend towards high figures once extensions kick-in post-next couple seasons when both Mitchell & Mobley see raises around same timeframe leading them above current projected cap limits requiring careful management throughout upcoming campaigns ahead if maximizing depth remains priority.
[Cavs] Overview:P As salaries rise considerably following contract renewals expected soon enough keeping capable supporting cast intact becomes increasingly challenging right through next few seasons especially come ’26/27 where both Hunters & Struss remain onboard but Arlen sees steep raise pushing him near $28 million mark complicating matters further still amid already existing obligations elsewhere across board indicating urgency surrounding such moves now before entering uncertain territory later needed most likely thereafter too!

A+- ### 亚特兰大老鹰队评估:C- 尽管亨特本赛季表现出色,但他并不是老鹰未来首发侧翼阵容的一部分。预计即将成为球队主力的会是年轻球员扎卡里·里萨谢和戴森·丹尼尔斯。因此,亚特兰大选择交易掉亨特,以更好地平衡团队薪资结构。 不过,这笔交易似乎还是用一名性价比高且优秀的球员交换了较少资产。在与洛杉矶快船进行博格丹·博格达诺维奇相关交易中,他们削减了在2025至26赛季内薪资总额所承受压力。 目前尚未明确的是,老鹰如何利用新获得的薪资空间,因为他们自身也有多位自由球员需要处理,包括正在寻求续约的大牌如勒韦尔及刚被奥涅卡·奥孔武取代位置的重要中锋克林特·卡佩拉。虽然杰罗姆近期崛起减少了对勒韦尔上场时间需求但其职业生涯最高40%的三分命中率依然为替补席增添了一份价值。而作为外线防守者,他在效力骑士期间同样有所进步。 p > 最后值得注意的是,通过这笔交易,他们还引入NBA最具胜算能力之一——乔治・尼昂。他自2016年以来一直身处常胜军之列,并曾随爵士取得佳绩,而去年则帮忙带领骑士打出了48胜34负良好战绩。然而,其防守短板或许将在季后赛暴露出来,不过以其40%的三分命中率而言仍可视作重要加成!
