Dejounte Murray is Getting Traded Again



Dejounte Murray is Getting Traded Again

The Hawks could trade Deonte Murray 18 months after getting him what a disaster there are credible reports coming out every day but the crazy part Atlanta won’t even deny it they are shopping him I mean imagine if this happened to like Luca’s best teammate the Mavs are

Shopping Kyrie Irving no they’re not the Mavs would immediately say that is fake news but the Hawks are silent Mark Stein says multiple teams believe the Hawks will EXP explore their trade options with Deonte Murray leading up to the February 8th trade deadline but there are two teams officially linked the

Knicks and Lakers now we’ll explore if either team even makes sense but deante just got to Atlanta this is so Random unless you’re a Hawks fan it is obvious the Dante trade just did not work okay yeah trade Dante Murray what a failure of a trade for the team he’s been Dante

Is dog waterer what why do they hate him this much because he is not who they were promised the year before the trade the Hawks were number two on offense number 26 on defense the heat smacked them in the playoffs by taking Trey out

Of the game so it was clear they need a secondary ball handler who is great on defense deante was perfect he just made the All-Star team was all defense as a rookie so they made an aggressive deal trading three first round picks and a pick swap to the Spurs the big question

How would Trey and Deon adapt to playing off the ball well after taking time to Jael Deon took off in the new year he averaged 23 points on 42% from Deep for a month a career-high 41 against the Blazers but he did not gel on defense it

Was so obvious in the playoffs against Boston no one could stay in front of a Celtic especially especially Murray his best trait was getting in passing lanes for steals but if he’s not doing that his defense is bad but the Hope was a full year under new coach Quinn Snider

Would help but this season the number five offense 27th defense the exact same problem before the trade but I am super pumped that herob bred is sponsoring today’s video Kevin Durant actually invest in this bread because it is so amazing zero net carbs up to 11 gam of

Protein in under 100 calories per serving look YouTubers aren’t exactly known for their nutrition but I trust KD on this one and it tastes amazing it is soft and fluffy and they listen to their Die Hard fans who wanted a new recipe so heart healthy olive oil is included soon

But my son’s favorite snack yeah do you want some bread is toasted bread with peanut butter and he loves hero and you can get 10% off your first order just go to hero. o/ am- Hoops or use the promo code am Hoops it really helps the channel and you get 10% off

Amazing bread just look at close games the Hawks are 6 and 13 in clutch situations cuz they can’t stop a thing in three straight games they have given up double digit second half leads the only team that looks good is the Spurs they took a chance on dejonte in the

2016 draft he fell all the way to 29th because of character concerns dejonte was exposed to gun and gang violence as a kid and was arrested at 11 years old teams were so concerned they interviewed the janitor at his college but the Spurs took a chance and it paid off he has

Been an awesome person in the NBA and became an Allstar but he was not on their timeline so when Atlanta came with a strong offer they took it now it’s fair to wonder if deon’s defense will return on a better team that is where the Lakers and Knicks come in both teams

Can make a case for Deon but what will the Hawks get back they need good players to stay in contention cuz they’re not rebuilding Trey is 25 years old if he doesn’t win a playoff series soon he can demand a trade so the first team mentioned was the New York Knicks a

Huge Nick reporter says some prominent members of the organization see Atlanta’s Deonte Murray as an ideal trade Target he’s one of the few guards you could play with Jaylen Brunson and it doesn’t kill your D if anyone could resurrect deon’s defense it is Tom Tibido Deon can play off the ball he is

A decent shooter and is an athletic slashing guard that the Knicks don’t have plus he is cost controlled which is super important in the new CBA Deon only makes about 29 million the next 3 years which is way less than other guard options like Donovan Mitchell or Zack

The Hawks spent a ton to get him New York could buy low on jante taking advantage of Atlanta’s mistake the problem is his agent Rich Paul of clutch Sports hates the New York Knicks they are run by a guy named Leon Rose who used to be LeBron’s agent at a place

Called CAA at the time CAA hired Rich Paul potentially as a favor to LeBron he worked there for 6 years but recently said I learned nothing nothing at CAA is it possible they disrespected him and treated him like an intern cuz they just thought he’s LeBron’s little buddy

Either way rich took LeBron and other clients to start clutch Sports in 2012 Leon Rose considers Rich Paul a traitor now obviously LeBron was going to start his own agency at some point anyway he is like that Mogul type of guy but Rose and Rich Paul have a gigantic Feud now

That does not mean that if deante really wants want to be a Nick it’s not going to happen but it’s a factor so it makes sense that sham says the Lakers are a team to watch for deante Murray but before we get into them what’s the Nick’s best offer they get dejonte and

Clint capella the Hawks get RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley Isaiah hartenstein in one pick New York get jante and capella which is important they just lost Mitchell Robinson to injury and it’s gotten so bad at Center they signed 38-year-old Taj Gibson off the street but Atlanta has Ona aong Wu ready to go

And hartenstein can be his backup the Hawks also get RJ Barrett who’s a big athletic scorer in the front Court they get quickly who’s not a big downgrade from deante and both guys are excellent perimeter Defenders that is the Knick’s best offer for the Lakers it’s deante

Murray the Raptors get Austin Reeves Max Christie a 2029 first from the Lakers and a 2030 first from the Hawks and the Hawks get ogan anobi got to be a three team deal cuz the Hawks don’t need Reeves and Christie who are subpar Defenders instead they get OG who’s one

Of the best perimeter defenders in the league and can stretch the floor this would require OG committing to resigning in Atlanta which he does for a huge contract Toronto maximizes OG’s value by getting two cheap young players to surround Scotty Barnes and one of the most valuable unprotected picks in the

League but if La refuses to deal Austin Reeves their best offer is deante for DLo the 2029 first and two swaps but does this even make sense for the Lakers after winning the inseason tournament they have gone three and six got blasted by the Celtics LeBron even admitted I

Don’t think we’re where we want to be to compete against the top teams that is why they’re in all these trade talks but what do they actually need well the defense is dominant on the best Knights but the offense is atrocious they are ranked 24th and one of the worst

Three-point teams in the NBA does Dante fixed that no but he doesn’t make the shooting worse he’s actually been better than Austin Reeves this year and takes playmaking away from LeBron which helps Deonte potentially has better defense but it’s not a perfect trade if anything I see him going to the Knicks despite

The whole Rich Paul CAA thing I mean especially if the Lakers are not willing to deal Austin Reed the Knicks have such a better trade offer so if they really want D jante they are getting him but another guy who will get traded is Donovan Mitchell the Cavs cannot afford

To lose him for nothing rumors say he will not resign there so sham says four teams are in the mix and I broke them all down

Right now, Hero Bread is offering our audience 10% off their first order! Just go to hero.co/am-hoops and use our code AMHOOPS

Dejounte Murray could be out of Atlanta just 18 months after he got there. The Hawks are admitting their mistake by even taking calls but what went wrong? This is a look at the answer and where he could go next.

  1. Ok, who are the teams ACTUALLY interested in him? Lakers and Knicks are always mentioned. You could make an article saying "Lakers and Knicks interested in trading two firsts for the country of Togo"

  2. Most players are not what the promise. Seems to me the trade dead line is for the GM's that didn't do a very good job in off season. Seems like Lebron is looking for a star player every time. Lebron not a very good GM.

  3. You have to take into account that when a player is traded to the lakers, his 3p percentage drops by 5-10% lol

  4. From what I understand is the Knicks are interested in this deal to get another point guard so Quickly can move into a bigger role so I don't see the knicks making that deal.

  5. As a 76ers fan, I would be ok if we trade for him. Kelton ain’t a starting level player and is very inconsistent. Having Murray on the team with Maxey, Harris, and Embiid would be amazing.

  6. Hawks really needs to consider trading more than half the members. At this point, I would only keep Trae and Jalen untouchable.

  7. how is quickley a good defender? he is only useful in fantasy for points and threes. hr doesnt rebound, pass and no defensive stats. if he cant score you get nothing from him. he's a scorer and nothing else.

  8. I knew when the Hawks traded for Murray, that it was a horrible decision. He has to have the ball in his hands to be effective, and so does Young. The Hawks already had a point guard, and did not need another one. I hope it was the owner's decision to trade for him, because if it was the gm's, he needs to be fired, and never be a gm again

  9. Rich Paul saying he learned nothing at CAA but turns around and starts his own successful agency says a lot about how big of a lie that is.

  10. Hes going to the Knicks, 1 thing i've learned as a lakers fan is, if the lakers are in trade talks the other team always wins lmao. He fit well on the knicks too if I was the knicks I wouldnt give up RJ barrett though

  11. u alright casey? i kept having to check the screen to see if this was the same guy talking. consistent uploads can take a break when ur ill bro ❤️

  12. Can you make a video about your trade predictions through out the years so we could see If they were accurate or not.

  13. this is uneven trade from Knicks perspective. Dejounte is 100% better than IQ or RJ no questions. But he is no better than RJ and IQ plus pick. Beside Capela is worse option than IHart, he is a trash

  14. As long as Trae is there, D will always be unfixable. Even if they brought in Jrue, it won't change a lick.

  15. No way Raptors trade away OG for 2 bums and late picks Masai will get more for him than that. This move even makes the raptors worse off as if Lakers can get Murray for nothing

  16. We'd take him back to SA in a heartbeat — especially on THAT contract. Damn is he underpaid for his production. Oh and BTW, kind of high-and-mighty for the Hawks to expect DJ to carry the defensive load himself when a) He's playing out of position at SG; b) Trae Young, their supposed "franchise guy" doesn't play a lick of D.
