  1. Not against it at all. We need an actual starting level point guard whos available most of the time

  2. Meh, depends a lot on what’s gonna cost to get him. He’s a good player but his fit with Trae was terrible so his value is a little lower right now.

    I feel confident to compete against those teams in a potential trade.

  3. Sequel_P2P

    His attitude and defense have both been terrible for the last 2 seasons. He’s hot from 3 right now, but career-wise, he’s been bad. The second he went from the tank-heavy Spurs to the trying-to-compete Hawks, his entire identity fell apart. I don’t doubt Miami’s interested in trying to get Spurs Dejounte back and fix him, but I hope they don’t. The only redeeming quality would be his $18.1m salary being moderately cheap for his level of production.

    “Expected to engage” is different from had initial talks

  5. I think more likely we’d be the third team in whatever dj trade. No trade really makes sense 1 on 1 unless the hawks hit the reset button and just want to trade him for picks

    Murray is a guy who would actually make sense here but expected to engage doesn’t mean anything. Every single star rumor includes Miami

    They want talent for their talent. Last I heard is that the Lakers are the favorite to land Murray.

    I’m gonna be honest i think I’d rather have him over herro heading into a playoff series, much better playmaker & defender plus he would allow Duncan to slot in at the 2

    I like Murray. He has a chip on his shoulder and is a dog on both ends of the court. With our system, and our vets (Jimmy + Kyle) mentoring him, could be a real game changer.

  10. Dejounte is a very good player & is good friends with Jimmy. Gives us much needed scoring punch, athleticism, length, and defense

    We engage with everyone on every player so I wouldn’t sweat this much.

    I like the idea of DJM on this team but I don’t know what Atlanta would want. Caleb maybe?

  13. I actually really like the fit. His shooting has improved and his defense would improve with us.

  14. You got me excited with initial talks man. That’s not what that says at all. This is just a big nothing burger of speculation.
