We know: as the Hawks do not seem convinced by the association between Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, they could take the opportunity to separate from the latter soon. Followed in particular by the Knicks and the Lakers, “DJ” would also appear on the shelves of Spurshis former team.
This is what is announced Shams Charania, while Dejounte Murray is eligible for a transfer as of today. It remains to be seen whether the leaders of San Antonio are really ready to accelerate their reconstruction process by recovering the heavy contract of the point guardAtlanta ($120 million, spread over four years starting next season) and if he is, above all, the profile capable of taking Gregg Popovich's men to a new level.
The leader to feed Victor Wembanyama?
We remember that Dejounte Murray revealed himself at Spurs, signing the best campaign of his career in 2021/22: 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds and 2.0 interceptions. From now on, he would no longer be the headliner of the Texan franchise, because Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell are called upon to embody the future of it.
In terms of currency, San Antonio can potentially offer the Hawks players like Keldon Johnson, Doug McDermott, Devonte' Graham, even Cedi Osman. Not to mention possible Draft choices…
