Couldn’t even get our pod out on the most intriguing free agents and trade targets before Dejounte Murray, the center of our intrigue, got traded to Atlanta. Lots of talk on his fit with the Hawks here: open.spotify.com/episode/6HrJMJ… – 5:47 PM

A Trae Young-Dejounte Murray partnership doesn’t sound like a great fit on paper but I’m curious to see if they make it work. Love Murray. Surprised San Antonio didn’t see him as a piece to build around but maybe Spurs knew he’d be tough to re-sign long-term. Full rebuild in SA – 5:47 PM

Considering there’s no protections on any of the picks, I think both sides are coming out of this well off enough. Trae and Dejounte isn’t a seamless fit offensively imo but putting that level of defence beside Trae was definitely much needed. Spurs finally embracing the tank. – 5:40 PM

This trade works if you believe Trae Young’s past ball-dominance was by necessity rather than by choice. Jury’s still out for me on that one. Defensively it’s an upgrade for sure, though it’ll be more of one if Murray gets better at using his length to close backside space. – 5:34 PM

The reality of the Dejounte Murray trade for San Antonio is this:
If the Spurs win the 2023 Draft Lottery and pick Victor Wembanyama, it’s the best trade in franchise history.
If they are picking anywhere other than No. 1… TBD, let’s see where their pick and Atlanta’s end up. – 5:30 PM

I’m told Trae Young is “ecstatic” to have Dejounte Murray join the Hawks’ backcourt with the organization believing the star pairing will unlock another level of Young’s game. – 5:29 PM

Dejounte Murray will unlock a better version of Trae Young if Trae embraces playing off-ball with more effort in screen and handoff actions plus relocations within the flow of the offense. No more hands on knees resting at the logo. Young has it in him to be a constant threat. – 5:24 PM

If you don’t think Dejounte Murray is good enough to be the best player on a contending team, but is good enough to thwart the tank, you do this deal as San Antonio. And if you think Dejounte Murray is good enough to be the second-best player on a contender, you do it as Atlanta. – 5:23 PM

Brunson is already a fait accompli — and can confirm Knicks interest in Dejounte Murray — as reported by @Marc Stein last week and @Ian Begley today. Who wouldn’t be interested? Some execs think it’s a smoke screen. Murray has two years at $16m per left on his current deal. – 3:21 PM
