Dejounte Murray trade: Atlanta Hawks land Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance, picks in deal with Pelicans

Thank you, DEJOUNTE 💯

[@FlyWithVeiga]

As a Pelicans fan, Dyson Daniels is arguably a top 5 defender in the NBA. He’s just super passive/shy on offense… if y’all can get him to play loose offensively, he’s a real player in this league

[@A-townHawks]

Hey that works out perfect we need the defense over anything. It’s almost better that he’s shy most of our players are the total opposite so it’s a good balance

[@FlyWithVeiga]

@@A-townHawks other teams purposely leave him open to double team the star player, and he still refuses to shoot… but he’s young and new to the country, so he’s still breaking out of his shell.. I think you guys will love him!

Nance is a 6'8" center who gives us 5pnts and 5rbds a game.... Bruno can do that with the same minutes for much much less than 11mil a season and is younger than Nance at 31. He's not going to be much of a mentor either.... Was cap filler for the trade, which means we traded for Daniels. Daniels was apparently what we really wanted for Murray if we're looking at this trade honestly.

​@jasonbrunson4797 Lakers pick was Pick 17 this season.... and LeBron and AD are a year older next year. ALSO.... next year's draft is infinitely better than this year's draft. That Lakers pick is actually pretty juicy in my opinion. If it was 2029 or 2030.... it would have been amazing, but the 2025 draft is WAY better than the 2024 draft, *AND* there's every chance it's a higher pick than 17th in a significantly stronger draft pool.

Initially I hated this trade, but more I think about it, it’s as bad as I initially thought. DJ had to adjust his style of play with the Hawks as SG. Hopefully he will fit better with Pels, playing PG position. For the Hawks, they would pick up a defensive wings and 2 FRPs. Nance’s expiring contract. Hawks are surrounding Trae with defensive players. I hope this would be a step up for the Hawks, and Landry has more trades lined up around Trae.

[@all-americanbootleggers9809]

I see what the hawks have in mind now, they drafted Zacharie, who isn’t a player known for creating his own shot, to essentially replace DJ, Trae will get him looks and set up plays for him, allowing Trae to be the “one man show” again so to speak. and Daniels will be a solid 2nd string pg behind Trae.

Bufkin is Trae's future back-up. Daniels is gonna split time w/ Bogey whoever they decide to start. Right now with Capela and Hunter, as currently constructed we'll be lucky to get 30 wins.

[@brodiestephens419]

​@@edawg9962 Yeah he is. He's played point guard his entire life until he came to the Pels. He makes smart passes, and has good vision. The Pelicans just don't play a point guard heavy "hold the ball and wait for plays to emerge" offense.

Our team is currently like Groundhog Day. Filled w players that play similar roles. We went overboard on fixing the poa defense and created a new problem. Trae struggles with the double team.

Wow that's a scary bad line-up! They won't bench Clint either as long as he's there making the $ he is. Johnson unfortunately is gonna get the hell beat outta him at PF again this season. If I had to make a lineup with what we have it would be Trae/Bogey/Johnson/Okongwu/Capela. Not great but has exp and has played together till the others learn the system and come along. Meanwhile Hunter sits bench and drops in value at $90mil contract for 60 or less games a season. Risacher will not start and shouldn't expect to. He was lucky to be a #1 pick.

[@vonkaiser3]

Oh its probably a wrap on Dysons shooting if he couldn't get it together in N.O. with the shot dr.

[@jasonbrunson4797]

So here's my question, in all seriousness....... Who's gonna rebound for us? JJ is great and can be our 2nd "poor-man's" Scottie Pippen prototype player, but if your putting him under the rim against bigger players than he's gonna be injury prone. He's not a rebounder. Okongwu can get us 10 rebounds, but he floor spaces alot and isn't in position. Trae is a poor rebounding guard. So we fix our defense with this trade alittle.... who stops the 2nd chance attempts by rebounding?? Risacher...? Clingan drafted in this situation woulda made things alot more easy to stomach. Who gets the other 30 defensive rebounds a game because "rebounding by commitee" creates alot of mistakes and 2nd chance opportunities for the shooting team. Clint's too old to stay healthy or log the minutes along with showing he's become alot more passive this past season. Who is going to stop the 2nd chance points by rebounding?

[@HKim0072]

How do the Hawks not get Trey Murphy or Herb Jones? Those picks are trash picks.

[@carltonbanks5470]

Lol those 2 are pretty much untouchables. Hawks might have had a better chance getting Brandon Ingram than either of those 2.

[@jasonbrunson4797]

simply put... we settled and didn't walk away to make them rethink their offer because we're impatient like trading Gallo and 4 - 1st rnd picks for Murray in the first place because we wouldn't build naturally and wanted instant gratification. Sure these talks went on last trade deadline... but, you still have to keep a poker face. Landry and Ressler get eaten alive every deal. 😮‍💨

[@chirocket4791]

Been waiting for the explanation/view on the trade. Did they hold onto him too long? Hawks making moves, but not sure to what end.

[@TheBLACKSTARmovement]

DJ played well, but he didn't out-play what we paid to get him, especially bc of his defense....

[@jasonbrunson4797]

This was a pure desperation and panic by the front office trade. We were obviously gonna lose something for what we overpaid in getting Murray, but we just settled honestly. Daniels is a good player, but he's rotational and a role player. I'd have expected more than extremely limited draft capital, weak undersized back-up player, and role player as our return. Why would we agree to taking the lesser of the 2 draft pick options? We coulda asked for the higher of the 2.... seems like we put little effort into negotiating. If this were NBA 2K then I'd rate our front office at F- given it's track record.

[@crudcu]

Brad do you think Hawks could make a trade that could get them Lauri and Kessler centered around Bogi, Capela, Nance, 2 1st round picks? Would the Jazz also demand either one of Risacher/ Hunter and/or two of Bufkin/ Mo / Djurisic ? At that point is the trade worth it?

But i thought the objective as a supposed star is to make your teammates better and to win games and hopefully a championship. It will never happen with Trae in the ATL He'll leave before that happens... hopefully

[@jasonbrunson4797]

Getting a bone-a-fide star isn't easy that puts in what Trae has, just ask Brooklyn! Trae is a rare clutch player that makes teammates better so you have to overlook the defense though he has become avg which is alot better than the past. He's only stood up for the organization and despite the league's media, has tried to keep from being a "distraction". The clowns running the team try to get in front of cameras whenever possible because they crave controversy and attention. We're run by narcissistic drama queens. Selling the team would fix more than trading Trae.

[@Sambarsamurai]

Hawks needed perimeter defense and getting Dyson is a good compliment. Nance is fine for me as a rotation player and would liked 3 FRP but casuals will say it’s a fleece. Mikal was grossly overpaid and the Knicks were DESPERATE to get that starting Nova Lineup In actuality mikal not worth all that. This trade has a direction. Glad we didn’t get BI bc bro wants 50+ mil And hasn’t played more than 60 games a szn since his rookie year… FUCK DAT

[@jasonbrunson4797]

Actually Bridges has nothing to do with this situation except if your a "casual" fan. Obviously NY drank the same kool aid we did 2 yrs ago! And btw, we were fleeced trading Murray for Daniels along with a couple extra "stabs in the dark" late 1st picks. Nance is undersized 6'8" with 5pnts and 5rbnds. He had Zion/ Ingram/ McCollum and company to take the focus off what he was doing for those incredible stat lines. It was epic failure not to atleast require that we get the higher rather than the lesser of that 2nd 1st rnd pick.

[@jamessinkfield]

Atlanta's largest defensive liability is CC for the last 2 years and they still do nothing, Landry is the worse GM in the NBA, fans want to win now not 4-5 years from now

Tbd because the lakers pick could be awesome if they continue to decline. Dyson could be another great defender on a team that clearly prioritizes these lengthy defenders next to Trae. All parties are happy.

[@cornfilledscreamer614]

I can't WAIT to see Trae take ALL the shots in the 4th quarter and make NONE of them! In fact - just take the other 4 guys off the floor! Trae's gonna beat the whole NBA by HIMSELF! Translation: Either SELL the Hawks or MOVE them. I've finally reached my limit.

[@PisangBerangan508]

Hawks always receive critics no matter what they did. Smh. Simply haters out there.

[@jasonbrunson4797]

As a lifelong Hawk's fan who's I'm sure older than you, I would simply like to say that here in America we have something called "Freedom of Speech". We are allowed to share our opinions on something we invest our time, money, and emotions into. Hating isn't what's going on here... there is a difference between "feelings" and "facts". See feelings change whereas facts do not. Fans who invest their lives in a publicly aired team that makes money off them have every right to have an opinion of said team. For example, I'm sure I've been a fan longer than you've been living, like 36yrs a fan. I've been to playoff games and paid more than my share into this team to have an opinion. I was a fan when people didn't even know there was an NBA team in Atlanta. That's a real thing. So, I think that fans have a right to share their opinions whether you want to blow everyone off or not. We don't have to agree, but we have every right and reason to post disappointments! Ownership stops doing dumb things and they'll receive praise. That's not been happening for awhile now.

[@jonniebox9656]

Getting more info about the caliper of the players of Dyson and Nance would be great!🤙🏼

[@ukkingrex]

Daniels is a 6-8 guard who can play PG & is a solid defender. Offensively, he’s practically worthless. Nance at his best was an average depth piece at best. He’s less than that now. The draft picks we get are jokes as well. Both will be mid-late 1st rounders after all the top prospects are off the board. This trade was total dogshit, like most every other move this hapless group makes. Don’t listen to the morons who cheer on every move the team makes. This was a massive fail.

[@kittycat2983]

​@@ukkingrexDaniels is an absolute stud. Sure, he has a lot to work on offensively but defensively he's a great talent. This trade was beyond reasonable

[@ukkingrex]

@kittycat2983 I disagree big time. To be a stud, you need to be at least competent on both ends. He might be a decent 9th-10th man off the bench. But he won’t make any real impact for at least 2-3 years if ever. Daniels is extremely challenged on the offensive end, to put it nicely. We just gave up an all-star PG who also plays great defense & got back a potpourri of shit in return. And that’s not even taking into account what we gave up for DJM. Landry Fields was owned once again, like every other move he’s made. Bs like this is why this franchise has seen all of ONE conference finals appearance in its entire existence. It’s my favorite team too but it’s a LOSER franchise with a LOSER owner & GM.

[@kittycat2983]

@@ukkingrex Daniels fixes a lot of issues Dejounte had while also providing some amount of offensive help. Does he need work offensively? Unequivocally, I won't argue that at all. What I will say is that Dejounte, Jalen and De'Andre all had statistically better seasons this year than they did last year so Snyder and crew can help.

[@ukkingrex]

@kittycat2983 I hope you’re right. I totally agree about him defensively. He’s a very nice piece as a POA defender. I just wish he wasn’t the best piece in the trade, as far as returning talent. Plus having Bufkin already makes him kinda redundant until one of them learns how to shoot. The 1st round picks will both likely be 20+ & it’s unlikely to be an immediate impact player at that point. They’d probably get better value by trading them. Maybe they plan on tanking. Idk. But I’ll happily eat crow if this move ends up working out great for ATL. I’m just not a fan of LF or the Resslers & they’ve done nothing over the last 3 years to make me think they are somewhat competent.
