The Dejounte Murray Pelicans TRADE is CRAZY!

[@Ccciuzz]

As an Hawks fan, I love this deal. We're getting a good POA defender in Dyson Daniels(something that the Hawks lacked this season) and a solid backup center in Larry Nance Jr. The picks themselves are also pretty good. Woj has implied that the Hawks market isn't over yet, so I heavily suspect that one player between Capela and Okongwu is getting traded (probably the former, possibly both). It wouldn't surprise me if the FO aimed for Ayton or Claxton

​@@Sincityhippie don't watch basketball do you lol

[@Ccciuzz]

@@Sincityhippie We'll see about that, but as of now I think that it's a win-win trade. The Pelicans finally get a point guard (although not very good at playmaking) and the Hawks get some draft assets and depth. And most importantly, I'm glad we avoided BI

[@Ccciuzz]

@@OfflineFeeds Yeah, but they can trade for him, right?

Sheeeeeeesh!

[@aaronelmore2606]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but he wasn’t that good defensively

[@Simpson_Productions]

As a Hawks fan, I have a lot of thoughts: if one of the 2 would be traded I wanted it to be Murray. Just as an organization it’s the right move to keep the homegrown kid who’s proven he can take you places. I hope Daniels isn’t another AJ Griffin. Hopefully we actually make an attempt to develop him bc he’s a super good defender and has incredible size and court vision. He’d be a good complement to Trae if he can improve his catch and shoot but he can also run the 2nd unit off the bench so I like that versatility if we use him. Getting Nance just tells me we’re almost for sure gonna trade Clint, which I want to happen. I honestly hope we trade Deandre with him and get like a really solid defensive SG who can be a decent secondary ball handler and creator for the two of them. If we get rid of Murray, Deandre, and Clint it does a few things in my eyes. Way more minutes for Zacchary and hopefully a good lineup for him to shine and grown in. Finally giving big O the starting center job and letting him thrive. And of course letting Trae fully run the show again. All of that and getting 2 1st back (one is a Lakers) for an experiment that cost us 3 1st isn’t the worst thing in the world. If we do trade Clint (and hopefully Deandre) then I like this as a “first move” of the offseason following the draft. Lastly, just remember the team Trae took to the ECF in 2021. Don’t doubt a high usage rate, fully ball dominate Trae Young led team.

[@flightmizzarc]

Pelicans fan here, dice can catch and shoot it’s off the dribble that’s the problem. He isn’t very confident on offense. Larry is smart a good 3 point shooter on low volume though and great for a locker room.

[@Simpson_Productions]

@@flightmizzarcthat’s great news to hear. My buddy is a big Pels fan and we’re both very happy and think it will be a solid win-win

[@flightmizzarc]

@@Simpson_Productions yes sir imo its a win win Trae young will be averaging 28 and 15 assist now yall are about to build around Trae and that first overall pick

[@gabrielalmlie8873]

Jarrett Allen for Brandon Ingram trade maybe? Evan Mobley transitions to the 5 and Cavs address their wing weakness, pels get a great defensive 5 so the lineup looks like DJ, CJ, Herb, Zion, Allen. That would be a scary team. Just thinking aloud tho

[@whatsitgoingtobetheneh]

I like it for both teams.

[@nrbmemes2414]

They should keep BI imo. And in the clutch when you need stops run a DJ, Herb, Trey, Zion, Center 5. But when you need scoring the starting 5 should be DJ, CJ, BI, Zion, Center.

[@bedstuy4_l895]

It’s a solid trade, I’m just tired of everyone trying to pair Zion with non shooting centers

[@jaifroomes806]

@@bedstuy4_l895there’s not many shooting centers on the market that are good defenders we should have got Myles turner years ago when his value was low

[@thebalkansnorlax5455]

​@@nrbmemes2414 There are a few reasons why BI needs to go. First is he wants a max and i don't think the pelicans can afford that, second, if you keep BI and don't get a Center who can space the floor even a little bit, you have two average 3pt shooters in DJ and BI, then you have to choose between either CJ or Herb at the 2 essentially sacrificing either 3pt shooting ot defense, Zion doesn't shoot so, the only 3 people on the team that can reliably shoot from 3 are CJ, Trey and Hawkins. that's nowhere near enough, which is why BI needs to go and Trey take his space.

[@NOLApelicansFan]

EJ Lidell was also in the dejounte trade

[@EliPlaysGamesY]

I love this trade for Atlanta. We all knew they were either going to trade one of Trae Young or Dejuounte Murray. They get an amazing defender and two future first round picks is good value for Dejounte Murray in my opinion.

[@lstheprodigy7761]

Now that we’ve fleeced the hawks now we gotta trade BI for a center and either bench cj or trade him. Murray, Jones, Murphy, Zion, and whatever center they get in the trade is the best way to go imo

[@ajevans1422]

I mean it sucks giving up the best player in the deal but after running it back for the most part, Atlanta has a vision of what they want. ZR and Dyson are these tall lengthy defenders that can shoot (Dyson tbd). Maybe they are trying to be like the Knicks last year and if they keep the pick, the lakers are one AD or Lebron injury away from stinking.

[@Bask3tChase]

If the Pels don’t make another trade, then they’re going into the season with little to no bench depth.. which is a step back no matter how you try to look at it.

[@ericg4626]

Spurs win this no matter what. Trae gets traded, you get great picks, you trade their picks back plus one or two and you get Trae for Wemby, they keep Trae and compete you still get 3 picks that should be around the end of the lottery.

[@Mr_Huskky]

Having all these ball handlers who are aren’t efficient three point shooters plus whatever center they get, seems like they’re gonna have some awful spacing and three point volume between DJM, Ingram, Zion and Capela or Kessler for example. CJ can shoot but he still needs the ball as well. Move Ingram to Philly for the Clippers picks and replenish the picks they lost and then get Kessler or some other starting center. Possibly move CJ as well if not try to get him off the bench and start Trey and Herb. Much more balanced team around Zion.

[@blablablaa14]

San Antonio has no interest in Trae Young. Literally zero. Spurs just drafted a big PG and are excited about the team they have

[@jamessmith-hs7if]

Dyson is an elite defender. Jose does a lot, but Daniels is a much more versatile and effective defender.

[@gerryconstant4914]

They just cannot afford to extend Ingram. They will trade him for a center & a couple of bench players. They will also sign a cheap backup 5.

[@eug504ene]

I don’t think Hosey Alvarado is a better defender than Dyson Daniels but he is a more peskier point guard quicker and very sneaky with the steals. But Dyson Daniels is probably better defender he’s longer and taller

Ok simple facts, its not possible to trade CJ, like there is no way. Simple as that, straight swap between Ingram and Allen. Allen, Zion, Herb, CJ, DJ its an all star lineup. Then you got Jose and Trigga from the bench. All you need to somehow extend Naji. Hes a missing piece. Get Boogie or Howard as a backup C in case our rookie going to fail. I mean if Willie not going to fail, this lineup will go to Western finals at least. Even Zion will get injured again.

[@M8trix6363]

Cj mccollum for wendell carter jr. saves pelicans long term money to pay ingram and murphy if they want and clears log jam with guards and get a spacing big Magic get a vet that can space and can play on or off ball. They would still have the cap to go after a Jonas Valanciunas or isaiah hartenstein in free agency. Cj dosent interfere with extensions to paolo and the core

[@dustinsirois4788]

Not sure I like this trade on the hawks side but who am I to say they could have gotten more for murray. For the pels I don't want them to move forward with cj or Ingram. I love having murray Murphy herb Jones as your 1-3 and zion at 4. Then you got Jose off your bench as your backup pg. You need to get a solid c trade Ingram maybe to the cavs...get Jarret Allen from them. They need more offense and Mobley and Allen don't fit well together. Dude that lineup would be legit murray Murphy herb zion Allen. Then trade cj for depth.
