Continuation of the series Dejounte Murray, one of the players most likely to be transferred in the coming days. As we approach the trade deadline (February 8), Chris Haynes says as well as Bucks would also be part of the teams interested in the services of the leader of the Hawks !
More exposed defensively since the departure of Jrue Holiday and the arrival of Damian Lillard, Milwaukee would therefore welcome the arrival of “DJ”, who has carved out a good reputation in the defensive sector in the past (All-Defensive team in 2018, best interceptor in the league in 2022).
What compensation for the Bucks?
It remains to be seen whether the Bucks have enough to satisfy the leaders ofAtlanta, while it is difficult to imagine the Giannis Antetokounmpo – Damian Lillard – Khris Middleton triplet leaving Wisconsin in the next three weeks. Perhaps names like Pat Connaughton or Bobby Portis could already serve as a basis, while Dejounte Murray earns “only” $18.2 million this year, before moving on to his new contract.
As mentioned previously, Milwaukee is in any case not the only team on the file, with the Knicks, the Lakers then the Spurs who have in turn been linked to the 27-year-old All-Star (21.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 passes and 1.4 interceptions on average this season).
