The Nets and the Pistons are interested in the Hawks backcourt player, but are the Hawks willing to give up on him in vain?

According to the report of Sam Amico, a reporter from the US media HoopsWire, the Brooklyn Nets and the Detroit Pistons are expected to be interested in Caris LeVert, a former backcourt player who played for the Atlanta Hawks in the following offseason, and they will also closely monitor LeVert's updates this summer. Sam Amico said: The Hawks hope to keep the outside player who is about to become a free agent, but they are also very clear that LeVer will attract the attention of some other teams. Sources revealed that the Pistons and Nets are two of the interested teams, and it is worth noting that LeVer has a lot of connections with both teams. Before the trading deadline, the Hawks completed a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hawks sent forward DeAndre Hunter, and obtained LeVer, Georges Niang, three future second-round picks and two future first-round swap rights from the Cavaliers. After joining the Hawks, LeVere played 26 games for the team in the NBA regular season, averaging 26.6 minutes per game, averaging 14.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2 fouls. He shot 48.2%, three-point shooting percentage 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 72.2%.

Level performed well in the regular season after joining the team. He still has quite good personal abilities on the offensive end, he has good scoring ability, he also has rich offensive methods, and he also has certain characteristics in passing and organization. However, LeVer's performance on the defensive end is relatively average, and his functions on the court are relatively limited. Unfortunately, LeVere's performance in the two playoffs against the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat was not ideal, and he did not show off his scoring ability and his offensive versatility, which also led to the team's defeat to a certain extent.

LeVer signed a two-year contract with the Cavaliers in the summer of 2023, with his salary this season being $16.615 million. LeVer's ability is actually quite consistent with the salary level of his contract. He is a reliable sixth man and he is also capable of providing all-round help to the team on the court. However, his ability is not that outstanding. It seems that it is unrealistic for him to fight for a larger contract. On the other hand, the Eagles sent Hunter without getting much cost and exchanged for LeVere. If they lost LeVere like this, it would be even more inexplicable.
