Has anyone tried unplugging Dejounte and plugging him back in again?

[Dejounte]

The San Antonio Spurs traded Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks on June 29, 2022, as part of a larger deal involving multiple draft picks. In exchange for Murray, the Spurs received Danilo Gallinari, a 2023 first-round pick (protected), a 2025 first-round pick, a 2026 pick swap, and a 2027 first-round pick. The Hawks also acquired center Jock Landale in the deal.

Assets are about to start landing, we’ll soon start to know how good of a trade this was.

[CGD]

^ That, plus one of those assets was basically used in the Fox deal.

What? We've known since the deal happened that this was a terrific trade for the Spurs, and a horrific trade for the Hawks.

Whether one of the three first-round picks the Spurs obtained for DJ lands on the lottery or not has no bearing on what a resounding success the trade was/has been. Is the return analysis this shallow?

The Spurs not only acquired numerous valuable assets for a player they were interested in shipping off anyways to truly kickstart their tank; they also managed to sell on Dejounte at his all-time-greatest value, and he's visibly declined as both a perceived player and asset since the trade, never coming close to his All-Star form that the Spurs sold on.

The trade also had the surplus benefit of directly made the Hawks worse since the DJ/Trae pairing was doomed to fail, again in the Spurs' best interest since they now owned the Hawks' immediate future draft assets.

There is no angle where this was anything but a home run for the Spurs, tbh. We can goalpost-move and talk about "exactly how good" the picks turn out to be, but it's almost an asinine talking point.

As a sidenote, each time I think of how good this trade was, I'm irked at how skillfully the Hawks managed to get out of their hole with the Dyson trade. Wasn't that done by the GM they just fired? Poverty franchise stuff, as usual...

Oh, as to the point of this thread -- yeah, someone's off their meds today :lol

But tbh, I don't mind the crashout; the threads on Spurstalk servers repeatedly mentioned the value in ST historical threads, but we hardly (me at least) if ever actually take a look at them. I enjoy seeing the bumped threads and throwbacks.

I'd actually love for a more dedicated poster to make an assortment of historical or "classic Spurstalk" posts. Would be great to crack a beer and go through the pages, IMO.

[timtonymanu]

Either he’s trolling or genuinely having a meltdown, neither would surprise me lol. Should have just done a fake retirement thread like RJ24.

[SupremeGuy]

Did I miss something with Dejounte?

[timtonymanu]

spurraider sent him to the tree of woe.

[The Truth #6]

Yeah, so what the fugg is going on again? Reputations were besmirched or something?

[timtonymanu]

There’s good basketball discussion to read but this site is also so shit-posty at times. I don’t why some people take this place so seriously or even care about their reputation on here. Go to Reddit for that shit.

Is Dejounte gatekeeping armchair scouting again?

i would agree but reddit is unbearably bad imo. its all just "our guys are amazing" and very surface level

this place has a lot of shitposting and some... interesting... personalities. but if you are willing to pour through i dont think theres better spurs content/analysis than ST

that's my usual defense of this forum. yes, there are a lot of terrible posts and threads, and dipshits (yes, ducks, that would be you), but there is also a lot of great information shared, good analysis and, if I need to find a place where I can get some information about cap space, aprons, contracts, trade and draft prospect profiles, this is the place. i'm convinced that the so called local sports journalist hacks lurk on this site to get their info.

[RC_Drunkford]

Not only locals, I think it has been proven that even ESPN journalists steal takes from spurstalk. Besides that TimVP became a nation wide Spurs news source sometime last year

When is he ever not having a meltdown? He might be the most unhinged person on here.

Let the hate flow through you

Being disliked is just as enjoyable as being liked.

Let’s face it. Anything that’s said on here is inconsequential. A fart in the wind. Anything goes. It’s our playground like in Westworld.

We’re all here stuck with each other. If anyone disliked me that much, they would have put me on ignore.

So go on because I’m going to keep being me. Fuck the noise, I’m here to enjoy it all

Oh yeah I agree with all that. I like that we can talk shit on here but still have legit basketball discussions.im just saying this is the last place that posters should seek validation because a lot of times people are trolling. Reddit is the place to post crap takes and get 100 upvotes .

[Spursfanfromafar]

Isn't he the dude who said that Keldon Johnson is the second coming of Charles Barkley? Or something like that :)

[Leetonidas]

I thought it was entertaining:lol

You’re right. That was very dejounte-esque on my part. My bad.

And ignore lists are for cowards

There was an amazing Reddit thread last night where we lucked into Flagg but then ruined it by trading Fox for Zion and signing Lonzo Ball to pair with him :lol

I only have two people on ignore. One is Dale because he literally only spams. The other is Joey. After I told him I was going to come to his shop and kick his ass (he told me he would have his friends waiting on me because he's a coward) because he kept running his mouth to other posters and challenging them to fights he now follows me around still trying to act tough when he got exposed as a pussy.

Where’s that guy who wanted people to sign a waiver and fight him? Let’s get him back.

Now the better discussion is how much we missed Dejounte vs Derrick. Those two were always pinned against each other and seemingly DJ got the better of Derrick in the pecking order. But now how the world turns. I don’t miss DJ at all and wanted his thug attitude moved, but Derrick I doubt anybody here wouldn’t want him back, and he would perfectly fit our current roster if ever.
