Dejounte Murray

The rumored trade scenario would send the Hawks' John Collins to San Antonio. Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer, who reported the Spurs-Atlanta buzz, also says the ...

It's the latest post Spurs fans have had to decipher. The emoji gallery and NBA players around trade season are an anxiety-inducing and unbreakable duo since the 2015 DeAndre Jordan emojigate. San Antonio isn't alone in their reported Collins interest.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will spend this summer trying to make moves that will put them in a great position to qualify for the playoffs this season.

If the Cavs manage to land Murray, it stands to reason that Sexton’s time in Cleveland would be over. Murray is one of the more talented young guards in the NBA and would immediately give the Cavs yet another fantastic player. The Cavs are apparently interested in Dejounte Murray and have been for quite some time.

The Atlanta Hawks and San Antonio Spurs are at least discussing a Dejounte Murray for John Collins trade, but it is not currently close.

Murray is an All-Star currently on a four-year, $64 million extension of his rookie contract, but as Fischer notes that is up in 2024 and Murray would expect a max in his next deal. Collins has four years, $102 million remaining on his contract (the final season of that is a player option). Murray was second in Most Improved Player voting last season, and averaged 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds and a league-best two steals a game.

The San Antonio Spurs are suddenly at the forefront of a huge new NBA trade rumor ...

It's going to be a very interesting offseason in San Antonio. Late Wednesday night, a report came to light that the Spurs were fielding offers on their latest NBA All-Star, with the Atlanta Hawks being the only specific team mentioned in talks. Any of those could be in play, and they still possess their own 1st-round draft picks over the next six years.

According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, the Atlanta Hawks and San Antonio Spurs have discussed a trade centered around Murray and John Collins.

That would be quite the haul, to say the least. Dejounte Murray Has 2-Word Reaction To The Trade Rumors Dejounte Murray is potentially intrigued by trade rumors surrounding him.

Dejounte Murray's name is being floated around in trade rumors. The Spurs may not trade him but there's a reason why he is rumored to be available.

That could position the Spurs for more future success than signing Murray to a lucrative, long-term contract. There’s a sense among NBA executives that San Antonio is still open to an extended rebuild, and Murray’s inevitably expensive contract extension is already looming on the horizon. As such, it may behoove the Spurs to rebuild. The answer to that is simple. As such, it's no surprise that the Spurs would want a hefty return for him. All were career-best marks, and he led the NBA in steals per game.

The San Antonio Spurs appear willing to listen to trade offers for their All-Star Dejounte Murray. Here are three ideal trade scenarios for the point guard.

The Wizards need to get in Eastern Conference contention and having to pay said players top-flight money is a good problem to have. Sure, Beal and Murray have similar offensive tendencies in attacking the rim. Kristaps Porzingis drains perimeter jump shots and can put the ball on the floor. With Edwards and Towns in the fold, Murray will draw fewer double-teams and therefore be able to get more points in isolation. But that’s a problem to worry about later. Murray gives the Timberwolves a reputable facilitator and defender, strong suits that Russell has struggled to attain. Murray is 25, meaning he and Barrett, 22, aren’t near their prime. They need stability at point guard, and Murray would certainly do as such for head coach Wes Unseld Jr.’s rotation. Nonetheless, Murray’s well-rounded offensive arsenal gives the Knicks much-needed backcourt scoring and his defense fits in with their defensive-minded approach. Acquiring Murray gives the Timberwolves backcourt clarity. RJ Barrett has become a plausible two-way wing and Julius Randle is capable of being an electric scorer. Edwards finds success through being a physical scorer and Towns scores all over the floor.
