[Brad Rowland] CC and Hunter remain very available in trade. Very confident Vit will get done, but they don't have to hurry. He's restricted and it's not going to be a huge AAV number.
Am I nuts not wanting to get rid of Hunter and Capela? We ain't gonna get a top notch center (Hartenstein is nearly 30 mil a year and he's no Embid) or a better player than Hunter. Both might do much better with less playing time to get injured.
Capela is washed man, been declining steadily and heavily. Let OO start, it completes the vision of having an extremely versatile lineup on offense and defense. Let Quin work without the limitation of a drop big that cannot defend on the perimeter and also cannot shoot outside of dunks (and struggles with those now as well).
Hunter you have to be more stubborn with, but I think they want to get rid of him because he does not have "Hawks DNA" and he doesn't have much impact on winning. Hunter's problem is he is amazing on paper and the perfect archetype that is hard to find (big wing), but he doesn't do any of the things well that make you want that archetype in the first place.
OO gets "bullied" on the boards because he's continuously pulled out of position by our worst-in-class perimeter defenders. He's a fine rebounder and will do well starting.
