    He’s the Goat frfr I love this man

    Best case scenario. We don’t have to worry about free agency anymore and 30M AAV is super movable given DJ’s age. This is big.

  3. Neither-Negotiation3

    Not that bad of a contract in my opinion

  4. send-inspiration

    Dejounte slander will not be tolerated for the next 3 months

  5. raiderrocker18

    wow, good on murray. team friendly decision

  6. thebigsalad_

    Dejounte just went from “yeah I like him I guess” to “my guy!!!” real quick

    I WAS ON A RUN YOU BEAT ME TO IT 😭😭

    I’m cool with it. Seems like a decently fair value too.

    Toronto may be stuck with giving a 30 year old the super max while entering a rebuild. If we can get off Hunter’s contract that’s priority #1 for me now with all this money tied up.

    120? Not bad. Good player. Hopefully Quin can unleash that backcourt

    Holy fuck I’m so happy. Getting a DJM jersey asap

    Lfg great deal for Hawks and very tradeable still if the fit doesnt work

  12. poppashat

    Great value! Thank you DJ! 🔥🔥🔥

    DJ has a history of signing team friendly deals he’s a real one.

  14. Coley96

    Needed this to happen. Even if we end up not being world beaters this year, that’s a very tradeable contract that we could send somewhere else in exchange for other players/assets next summer.

    Much better than letting things roll into next summer and having to match a massive overpay or let DJ walk for nothing.

    I’m not very high on the Young/Murray pairing but this is a great deal for us, if he’s great and it works out then it’ll be incredible value and if not he’ll be easy to ship out.

  16. Landry Cooked. In a world where Fred Vanvleet is making 42 million this is a steal. This gives us some flexibility to sign our young guys like OO to better contracts. Shout out to DJM for staying loyal.

    I’ll be damned. I’m a Murray skeptic but this is a huge win that I never expected.

  18. C-Jammin

    Well okay. This ain’t bad money-wise (the market is the market) and it provides stability. We at least know what we have and where we need to improve. DJ walking the walk when it comes to loyalty too.

  19. MiserableSoft2344

    This Quinn offense is about to be daunting

  20. thestallion11

    Having to sign him to ludicrous money was one of my biggest worries with this team, don’t have to worry about that anymore . Thank you DJM

  21. kindathecommish

    John the Baptist gave his life for this 🙏

  22. kindathecommish

    This means Quin Snyder has already cooked up an offensive theory to make dejontrae truly work

  23. DaOlWuWopte

    Is dejounte the greatest hawk since Carmelo???

  24. gggg3344

    NEW SEASON, NEW PAIR OF TITS FOR THE MILF. LETS GOOOO!!

    TRUST IN TONYS SON AND MAN I LOVE FIELDS!!!!!

  25. It’s hilarious looking at the raptors sub with nothing but people trashing Murray now that he signed his extension. Bunch of losers

  26. blkttktv

    Y’all better make up for that money he left on the table and buy up all his jerseys

  27. Young_God_7

    Ok on some real talk. Maybe some uncomfortable talks:

    This clearly signifies that Quinn is cooking up some Dejountrae magic. And it’s for sure gonna be night and day difference from last year. We bout to cook the league.

    But

    Everyone is mentioning if it doesn’t work DJ is easy to move on that contract. Sure. But in the chance it does crash and burn having DJ locked up for 3 more years on that contract would the team move DJ to PG and ship Trae for a massive haul? Definitely something to think about and gives the front office some crazy flexibility depending on what handshake deals they have with the players.

    One things for sure I hope we don’t play bout loyalty and Trae and Murray are cooking the league together for many years to come.
