Hawks Trade Deadline: Why Dejounte Murray Wasn’t Traded by the Atlanta Hawks

Welcome into the locked on Sports NBA trade deadline special and here with us is lockon sports Atlanta co-host and also of course with lockon Hawks postcast as well Jarvis Davis Jarvis this has been a crazy day for everybody else but I think you would agree with me

That it has been a crazy day week month year for the Atlant Hawks because it’s will they won’t they will they won’t they will they won’t they this might be the trade deadline news that we all were expecting but until we saw the Tweet the first tweet maybe about 10 or 11 minutes

Before the trade deadline we truly didn’t know what was going to happen because even up to last night there were reports that conversations were being had between the Atlanta Hawks leadership with the New Orleans Pelicans leadership and there was an attempt to even trade dejonte Murray Clint capella and Ana

Okang although we never quite got information on what the pels were going to be giving up in exchange for getting those three players I know for me Jarvis that was the one and we’ll talk about a few of those other trade rumors as well but that was probably the one that was

Frustrating to me the most because I felt like unless the Hawks were going to really get something that was going to put them in position to make a run I don’t think you just give away everything and just unless you’re you’re wanting to put this in rebuild mode so I

Don’t know about you but I’m pretty glad and I’m pretty confident it was the right move for the Hawks not to just make a move to make a move not to rush into a trade but to do the thing that made the most sense long ter shortterm

And long term absolutely because at the end of the day when when you give up a three first round picks and for dejonte Murray and you’re what a year and a half almost two years in and then you got your new coach who came in with the last

20 some odd games of of last season you just didn’t really start getting the feel for it you gota you gota let that thing play out because we talked about this Le up to the trade deadline because you know you always see the hwks kind of

Go on a nice little run try to figure things out and you start it start to get healthy and let’s just face it that’s the real reason why the hwks are where they are right now in this position fighting for a playin tournament spot you know halfway more than halfway the

Season so it’s because of the injuries you know jayen Johnson and DeAndre Hunter and we all know the NBA is built on wings you need as many wings as possible and being from Atlanta and I love some hot spicy lemon pepper wings so yeah they need them they need as many

As they possibly can get so when you hear about all of these rumors and everything like that you saw you saw heat up with the Lakers and all that but I I know when this last minute one with the Pelicans I thought was kind of a little intriguing because they talked

About specific players that they wanted and Herb Jones and you know and stuff like that but they talk about they wanted a con too I was like no have you seen him play these past couple nights with Clint capella being out in the starting lineup so it’s just too many

Factors going into this trade deadline to say you know what we we’re going to trade dejonte Murray and we’re going to see try to get some assets back and try to get better and I just that was just too rich for a lot of teams blood indeed

Indeed and for me I think the other piece there was it had the feel of a rebuild and my thinking was I don’t know they sold us Auntie not at all I I was like this is this is so confusing because you literally go out and you get

Quinn Snyder to come in 22 games before the regular season I’m sure you didn’t sell him on a rebuild either I’m sure you sold him on you just need a few pieces and you need the right coach to be able to the goal I think this year

Was to just fite your way out of the the play in route now you’re probably not going to get to that unfortunately because you took a hit that nobody saw first of all Jaylen Johnson most improved player probably across the league arguably is gonna win that award

And most important player for the Hawks didn’t see that coming but then when he became that you also didn’t see him being out for five weeks and how much that would impact this team because to your point he was a part of that group that really was giving some good two-way

Play especially bringing help on the perimeter but I probably disagree a little bit with most people with the herb Jones piece because points-wise he was going to bring something to the table but for me if all you’re giving me is four rebounds I don’t really need that because I don’t need your points

Sadique B giv in that department yeah I think right I think the Hawks are good the Hawks are scoring at the top of the the the tree across the NBA so scoring wise you’ve got that and you’ve got a player in sadique Bay these last couple

Of games man he went down just for one game and I was thinking whoa you brought him back too soon but then he’s the guy who against the Celtics up until the fourth quarter of last night’s game kept the Hawks in it so I just felt like as

Far as what the Hawks were going to get out of this deal herb Jones wasn’t enough for the one thing that you are sorely missing JIS before this week everyone was talking about you know all of the issues and challenges of the back court of the Hogs but I have contended

For for quite some time now your front court is the issue because you don’t have a consistent perimeter Defender because DeAndre Hunter a is injured a lot and B when he’s there you never know which Dre you’re G to get and I also thought that there were challenges

Because you don’t have enough out of Clint capella in terms of what you’re seeing in the evolution of the big man you’re getting it out of Ana but there’s still a lot that you have to develop in him to figure out if he’s truly going to

Be that guy that you’re able to plug in at and I don’t think you have enough down the depth chart to be able to get anything else but I think yeah of all of the no trades on trade deadline day this was probably the one that really pequ everybody’s interest not because it

Wasn’t expected but because it was like all right now we can move on and see what these hwks are going to do backside thank you so much for stopping by Jarvis of course check us out like And subscribe lock on Sports Atlanta we appreciate you for that and of course
