Dejounte Murray: When I see just all the BS, trade this guy or trade that guy, it means nothing'
Dejounte Murray: We’re two point guards. Obviously, he’s established more than me in this league. You know, he came into a great role, where I came in a different role. Everybody’s situations are different. And, you know, people are going to do all the stuff they do on the internet. They have to do that; they can’t just say good because the bad stuff sells. The bad stuff is what makes any of us go read. Not too many people want to read, ‘Oh, this is the good thing that was put out.’ The negativity is the stuff that sells. So, you know, for me, when I see just all the BS, trade this guy or trade that guy, like it means nothing. It’s somebody behind their computer…”

A good challenge from Dejounte Murray of MPJ’s layup but the Hawks don’t corral the loose ball and the Nuggets make them pay.
But Murray hits a contested 3 over Murray and it cuts the deficit to 80-71. – 10:35 PM

Nuggets 5-man bench unit is a +9 with Nikola Jokic on the bench in the 1st half — several of those minutes came against Dejounte Murray, Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela and some of the Hawks’ starters. – 9:56 PM

If I were Denver, I’d have Christian Braun chase around Bogdan Bogdanovic tonight, KCP guard Dejounte Murray, and leave Jamal on De’Andre Hunter. – 9:00 PM

More on this storyline
Trae Young on Dejounte Murray: “I mean, I think our relationship is good. I mean, I feel like, to be honest, there’s not a memory I don’t have with this dude that I don’t remember. Like, all the way back from, obviously, knowing who he was in high school, but just him coming to the team, or him having the thought about coming to the team, and then us getting on the phone, and I’m calling him. And then us talking about having a chance, and so going from there, being in basically a boot camp in the forest one day, and us being partnered, and then us getting to know each other there. Like, there are a lot of memories that I have with this dude, and so, it’s beyond basketball when it comes to our relationship with me. So, I think relationships can always be better if your team’s winning and things like that, and juices are flowing. But, I think there are certain relationships that you have that are just deeper than basketball. And so, he’s one of those guys that, I mean, it’s forever deeper than that. So, I got a good relationship with him, man.” -via YouTube / April 9, 2024
Do they really want to see Young and Dejounte Murray reunited at this late stage … or would it actually help their looming decision-making in the offseason when it comes to trading one or the other to play out the rest of the season as a Murray-centric squad? Only the Hawks know their preferred path for sure. The most likely scenario, according to one league source, continues to be that Atlanta trades one of its two star guards before next season. -via marcstein.substack.com / April 8, 2024
