One thing I meant to mention: obviously trading Trae makes no sense for ATL if they can't get their 2025/26 picks back from SAS. 2025 is unprotected and 2026 is a swap. If they can do their version of the Mikal Bridges trade with this deal and a Trae trade to SAS, I'd like this a lot more

Whos here after Murray is injured while Dyson dropped 28pts and 6 steals on the Celtics.

B+ for the Pels? Thats an A+ for what they gave up

[Mojacaine]

The Hawks probably going to be balling. they have a good core and defense just improved!

The re-tool isn’t about age. It’s putting defense around Trae. Offense has never been the problem.

Bro got traded for 2 sticks of gum and a half a bag of chips 🤣 🤣

We are officially past Danny Ainge throwing Rob Pelinka a bone now. Rob needs to go.

Dejounte Murray is such a good basketball player. He should have never been played at the 2 in Atlanta, but this is a steal for the Pelicans who needed a point guard badly.

The hawks needed to break them up. They just didn’t play well together . I’m glad they kept Trae

David Griffin knew Lakers wanted Trae or Murray.
Pelicans trade Lakers 1st rd 2025 pick to Hawks.
Hawks have no incentive to make Lakers better because they have Lakers pick for 2025.
Trae Young trade is officially dead for Lakers from Hawks perspective.
Wicked movements by Pelicans front office specifically David Griffin.

The pelicans fleeced, all they had to give up was a half eaten apple and a bag of chips 😭🙏

There is such a thing as a Lakers tax.

I’m a fan of Trae, Daniels, Rissache, Johnson, and Onyeka as the Hawks lineup of the future and I love the fit of Dyson Daniels I think that’s getting heavily overlooked. Not to mention the Hawks still have Bogdon, Hunter, and Capela

[jdkonline]

Nice breakdown, but no mention of Jalen Johnson, the Hawks best young piece to build around?

[jacobsunday]

Problem for ATL is that they can't blow it up since the Spurs got all of their picks. The Murray trade was a big swing last year but an even bigger miss now with their lack of assets. Hope Knicks legend Landry Fields knows what he's doing in that FA because it's not looking too good in ATL.

Just told myself gotta wait till tonight for you to make this video and it’s already out. Tucker the most reliable since 2018

Lmao Dyson Daniels is looking like a DPOY. Hawks won this buddy

[basketballblablabla]

Atlanta really wants to give the Spurs top 5 pick each year the next 3 years. They still thinking the Spurs will give them picks for Trae hahahaha

[jbwuzhere]

Dejounte was a poor fit with Trae, actually Kevin Huerter fit much better despite being the lesser player of the two. This trade eliminates the question of are they building around Murray and it adds depth on the bench and defensive help on the perimeter. They also recouped a couple of first rd picks and managed to shed some salary. Hopefully this sets the stage for a larger trade involving Capela or Hunter or both.

If this is really what Atlanta valued DJ at, I am so pissed Miami didn't go after him. Dejounte would have been a perfect fit for the Heat !!!
