After finding some stability over the past few seasons, Caris LeVert once again found himself on a new team at the trade deadline, the Atlanta Hawks.
LeVert was a key piece off the bench for the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers this season, but with them looking for an upgrade on the bench and the Hawks wanting to shed salary, they agreed to send LeVert and Georges Niang to the Hawks, and De’Andre Hunter to the Cavaliers.
It was important that the Hawks got somebody who could replace the scoring of Hunter off the bench, or similar to what he was doing, and that’s what LeVert brought.
