Lakers & Hawks Trade Waiting On 3rd Team To Complete



Lakers & Hawks Trade Waiting On 3rd Team To Complete

Everyone so it looks like Deon Murray may be a Los Angeles Laker uh pretty soon uh according to Shams Atlanta wants to find a third team to take on d’angel Russell in order to complete a dejonte Murray trade with the Lakers it centered around d’angel Russell 2029 first round

Pick and a pick swap I’m told the holdup uh was that Atlanta wanted to find a third team for d’angel Russell so this is something that you know I discussed there was that report well like a week or so ago now maybe a little longer um

That this would most likely be a three- team deal and that the Atlanta Hawks don’t want to keep DLo because they’re afraid that he’s going to opt into his deal and they want to get some expiring contracts I even made the video about the idea of San Antonio and we’ll touch

On various teams that are linked right now cuz we do have news in that department but as far as the DLo for Deon Murray trade goes I still am in the camp of trade Austin Reeves I am like keep like the thing is that if you get

To jont Murray you probably got to trade DLo regardless but could you keep a first if you traded d’angel Russell right so like the trade is a DLo jayen HUD Chino was like the full deal DLo jayen H Chino first round pick and now apparently a pick swap right whether they include

Jaylen Hino or not we’ll see now if this is an expanded deal and it’s like you know cuz ruy haimura he looked upset and there’s a lot of rumors that he may be on his way out too going around so what if it is something where know Lakers are

Getting a clink capella uh in the deal or they’re getting some other piece in the deal okay maybe that makes sense but D and essentially two first for Deonte Murray I don’t think Deon Murray is to First of an upgrade right like if you

Were giving up DLo in a pick swap okay I get it he’s kind of your long-term solution at point guard right you got your basically Allstar point guard with athleticism for now and post LeBron James right you’re in good shape you got dejonte Murray and Anthony Davis going

Forward I can see the direction okay but you’re trading a first and a pick swap to to what to go get Deonte Murray where look however you feel dejonte Murray better than DLo which if he gets back to San Antonio dejonte Murray then yes he’s better than Dow the Atlanta Deonte

Murray not so sure now regardless even if you think Deonte Murray is better than D is dejonte Murray worth two firsts on top of D’Angelo Russell so my hope is that the Lakers can find a third team that maybe gets more assets and the Lakers could maybe keep the pick swap

Or um it’s an expanded deal because I again I would rather trade Austin Reeves and like get it done now because Atlanta wants Austin Reeves right so maybe you could get the deal done today give up Austin Reeves get to jontay Murray now you have like two weeks to kind of gauge

And see okay what does it look like with DLo and Murray you probably could keep your first round pick and now you could look and package DLo if it assuming it doesn’t work you could package DLo ruie Gabe Vincent and a first round pick and go get other pieces but now it’s like

The Lakers are going to trade for Deonte Murray and that’s basically it like what other things are they going to get right like what other pieces are they going to get Deonte Murray is not going to turn the Lakers season around by himself would he make them better

Possibly there’s also a good chance it doesn’t there’s also a good chance it makes them worse um cuz again he he struggles finishing around the rim he has his struggles playing off ball right he defensively has been awful now the idea is that he can get

Back to being if he gets back to being like San Antonio all defensive point guard who can give you 23 and n a game with like six rebounds and get you like two Steals and he can continue to shoot 40% from three then absolutely the Lakers are going to be tough good luck

Right good luck beating the Lakers right especially come playoff time because then you really do have some athleticism you got in you know elite point of attack guard and you got somebody that shooting 40% from three that version of dejonte Murray would be incredible for the Lakers but that version of dejonte

Murray hasn’t been a thing for like three years now and what’s more likely that that’s going to continue to be the trend or that he just had a one Good Year and that was it right like we’ve seen plenty of guys have good years good

Moments so I’m just not sold on DLo and two first for dejonte Murray now if you’re getting other pieces then maybe that’s a conversation but teams that are basically in the loop apparently for potentially acquiring d’angel Russell the Miami Heat have been heavily linked so far right they were in the

Conversations for Deonte Murray and touch base for Deonte Murray but it looks like they don’t want a pony up what it would cost for Murray here’s the thing about D is any team is basically going to get D for probably free or Pennies on the dollar right cuz all of

The assets are going to come from the Lakers they just want expiring deals to to kind of match and maybe you know Miami throws in like a second or something like that you know for as a thank you for for getting D so whichever team goes and gets DLo they’re going to

Get him for probably nothing they’re going to get him for at most maybe two seconds and if he continues to play the way he’s playing there are several teams that can use him Miami definitely could use d’angel Russell they’re also looking to move off of Kyle Lowry maybe they

Could work some deal out work out some three- team deal where Lowry goes to Atlanta you know Deonte Murray and something else goes to the Lakers and then you know maybe uh Miami is getting DLo plus some other pieces who knows right three team deals speculate how you

Like down in the comments another team is the New York Knicks although that I don’t really see I don’t really understand that I think they’re trying to find an upgrade at the guard position and and a little more scoring power but I just I don’t see DLo making

Sense now they do need to get off of Evan for’s contract so if you could turn Evan forier in a DLo right that’s at least a guy that can help you so maybe that can make sense especially if you can’t find anything better for Evan forer’s contract like you could do worse

Than d’angel Russell it’s just how does DLo and Brunson look right and you’re probably best at that point putting DLo at the point and making Brunson just be your two guard and let him just go get Buckets right and Brunson played off of Lucas so he has comfortability

Familiarity and then DLo playing off LeBron they could both play off again you know I uh it could be interesting I might make a video on as it stands Sports kind of breaking down all these other destinations more thoroughly this is a Laker channel so I kind of want to

Keep it Lakers but two other teams San Antonio Spurs team that I’ve thrown out there and I think makes a lot of sense they could use a point guard of the future they’re a team that has interest in trading for uh dejonte Murray but like I mentioned you could go and give

Up two firsts and a bunch of assets to go get Murray or you could basically just get D’Angelo Russell for free why wouldn’t you just get d’angel Russell for free unless you’re that sold onto jonte Murray right but then you’re giving up a bunch of assets for but if

You’re kind of like you know DLo is it too is isn’t worth too first compared to to jonay Murray well then let’s go get DLo for essentially free another team is the Brooklyn Nets right so Spencer deny is on an expiring contract uh the Brooklyn Nets they want to move off of

Den witty there are reports that Den witty basically has just been out there coasting just basically essentially showing up to work to get a paycheck and then leave um and they want some long-term answers they also want a playmaker somebody that can make some plays Spencer Den witty isn’t really

That so the Brooklyn Nets are another team that could be interested in reuniting with d’angel Russell uh so maybe Den witty goes to the um maybe they send Den witty to Atlanta Lakers end up getting um Deonte Murray and then you know the Nets end up with DLo I

Would love to try to get something like can you get Royce O’Neal out of the deal like if it’s with the Nets right I just I want to see the Lakers prize somebody else if you’re giving up two first you got to get something else besides de

Jonte Murray right you just got to in my opinion um whatever that is that I just think that they need to get that done if you got to trade ruy trade ruy whatever it takes to match salaries but you got to go get another position of need

Whatever that position of need is go get CL capella right get yourself a real Center get yourself Bogden bogdanovic that would give you some shooting three uh three-point sniper a guy that can make some plays kind of gives you another Austin Reeves type guy um you

Know in the sense of like high IQ can shoot play off the ball well right uh I just you got to get more I just I don’t like the idea of just essentially DLo and two first for dejonte Murray right again again I’m not saying that it won’t

Work it’s very possible that de jonte Murray maybe he comes to Lakers and it is game Busters and the Lakers are cruising and they are absolutely dominant and running away and catching back up and make the playoffs and are terrifying maybe they win the championship this year I don’t know

Right but there’s also the other side of that which is dejonte Murray doesn’t work like he does in Atlanta and you get Atlanta dejonte Murray over San Antonio Deonte Murray and now the Lakers are in trouble because they have no picks really to move off of well I mean it

Depends on what the Pelicans do but still my point is that you just you paint yourself in a corner and I don’t think Deonte Murray by himself will make the Lakers even if he is San Antonio Murray you can make a real argument that dejonte Murray doesn’t won’t make the

Lakers a contender would he make the Lakers better absolutely but how much better is the question so to me it’s like I would rather go and try to go get multiple pieces this is why I lean towards Trading Austin Reeves right because you can go and trade DLo doesn’t

Want to leave the dude is on the bench literally crying probably most likely because he got news that he’s probably out the door any day now cuz these two teams are trying to figure out a third team and they’re going to get this deal done sooner rather than later so

So DLo if you could get DLo in a position to where he has a role and he has a home and he has everything then I fully would expect him to stick around right but if you could trade Austin Reeves and keep a first well now you

Have DLo ruy a first whatever or throw in Austin Reeves and go get bro uh bonovich and Clint capella right go trade DLo Reeves ruy and just basically get a whole roster rehaul and maybe now you’ll be good enough to win a championship I don’t know I just again I I I

Don’t look if the Lakers make the move for Deonte Murray he has my full support I’m rooting for him I want him to be the best point guard in the league right because again if he has success and the Lakers have success he’s on the Lakers

Team I’m rooting for him I I’m I’m hoping for the best I’m going to be optimistic like I always am right but we have to look at all sides of this coin here we can’t just assume that you know hey it’s double-sided coin right you got

To inspect it and make sure it’s not just one-sided so that’s my concerns but it it just all signs point to the Lakers are going to get to jonay Murray I it just I mean it’s becoming abundantly clear at this point that that’s that’s the direction that they’re headed that’s

What’s going to ultimately happen and I I honestly I’m I’m it it’s becoming one of those things where like any minute I’m I’m expecting this to get done like I’m just constantly like looking at my phone you know checking Twitter checking everything you know making sure all my notifications are turned on properly

Like I I’m just I’m waiting for it because you know it’s Pro most likely right around the corner um but anyway as always this is a discussion so I pass a question on to you let me know thoughts and opinions down in the comments below

How do you feel what do you think do you think the Lakers should do the deal Deon Murray do you think no you got to get more than Deon Murray um again however you feel whatever your thoughts are I’d love to hear it so let me know down in

  1. I don’t like this trade Murray doesn’t put us over the top or in position to compete like that. We got stacked all around teams like Denver and Boston. The lakers front office and ownership it trash!!!!!!! Why not ask about Caruso and Drummond?

  2. Man we need Magic Johnson back with his input trade reaves and jhs and get murray and oneal from Brooklyn

  3. Doesn't move the needle. I'm not even sure if it's even worth it as a straight up trade nevermind giving up two picks.

  4. From the beginning, I don't want to trade any of this Lakers young guys. Like I've always said last time. Because of the fact the it's hard to fire Coach Ham right now. I rely on trades hoping it could help us.

  5. i don’t understand why we couldn’t keep dlo and move reeves and a pick for murray would of made way more sense dlo is shaky but at least he can get hot on certain nights and that’s something we don’t got on this team murray nice but reeves in the backcourt not gone solve the issue no offense to reeves good player not a starter in my eyes he need a bench role

  6. Looks like we will get Murray and probably he goes to the nets with some 2nds to get DFS, Reaves and Rui and jhs should be a package and a 1st and a swap, get mikal bridges and a real 3nd in DFS, and keep Dlo .

  7. I’d like to keep Dlo, he’s a great offensive guard. I’d rather we trade rui ect for other pieces like brown, finney smith, Royce ect

  8. I never wanter to trade DLO but…
    for all you fans who hated him last week but now want to keep him…. You do know if he continues to play good he will opt out next season and go elsewhere because LA will not be able/willing to pay him right?
