[Shams] Dejounte Murray traded to the Pelicans for Nance Jr and two 1st rd picks

Nah you dont trade with Ainge. He rips you off so much its never worth it. Look at Gobert and Spida trades.

 

I'm not the biggest fan of Dejounte and think he lowkey has some locker room cancer cells, but you can't deny he is a decent 2 way player on a reasonable contract for the next 4 yrs. His contract is basically half the max of other players like BI wants a deal that pays 52M Dejounte is only making 24M this season.

I think this is a great trade for basically Dyson Daniels, 2025 Lakers pick and filler. For Atlanta I think they sold low on this one.

 

dame! the Hawks paid alot for Murray and sell so cheap?! Daniels and 2 non-lottery picks!
i keep wishing Stone make a trade for Murray, he's the most realistic shot to improve the team. you replace J.Green with D.Murray and the Rockets is a Playoff team! most importantly, Murray's contract fits the timeline of this team perfectly, probably even cheaper than J.Green's impending extension. all the big names i heard: KD, PG, Zion, D.Book, D.Mitchell, ... all has double the size of Murray's contract, and Stone aren't getting any of them either.
we can easily beat the Pels' offer, sad

 

McCollum and Dejounte more than make up for the incumbent loss of Ingram.

 

Two way player? He hasn't played a lick of defense in years. Him being a turnstile on that end alongside Trae is the biggest reason he got shipped out.

 

I dunno bro thats why Atlanta traded for him right, he was supposed to be a defensive presence. Maybe Atlanta was just a bad fit.

 

LoL, Nope

 

Possibly but Quinn is a defensive minded coach if I remember correctly. Seems like Quinn may not be the coach he is touted to be. Murray and Griffin both performed much better under other coaches.

 

Agreed. This is more evident of Udoka being a great coach...can't deny the fact our roster is still mediocre compared to the other teams in the stacked West.

 

This is a dumb statement tbh considering the Rox core players are 21 and under. Saying they are mediocre when the reason for that is they are below 23 is just ignorant. They reached 0.500 despite their young age thats not mediocre at all.

 

Well said, Udoker practiced all the right things.
