The rumour was the Spurs didn't like Murray. It wasn't just that we got a great offer for him.
Even if the Spurs were interested, it's highly unlikely they'd basically do the trade in reverse and from a Hawks perspective, how could they accept any less from the Spurs and save face?
Even if the Hawks were willing to accept something like Jones, Graham, the Craptors and Bulls 1sts for Murray and Mills, I still wouldn't do it.
Murray's lack of shooting (though improved, he's not a spacer), rim pressure and mediocre play making would be pointless to splurge on.
hawks could conceivably take back less since they basically paid for the right to rent him for a couple of seasons
Spurs will have compe ion no doubt.
Murray may be a punk ass but he's put in several solid seasons and is a good all around player O and D.
Certainly above average.
Dude shoots 38.2% from the three on 6 attempts a game, which is pretty respectable. Definitely not very effective at the rim, especially considering he averages like 2.9 FTA a game. Would be an enormous upgrade over Sochan or Branham defensively. I wouldn't be eager to trade Jones though as having to run Branham or Sochan at point when Murray is on the bench would undo every bit of good having Murray back would generate.
well young is a allstar veteran....Wemby is a rookie who cant get respect from his teammates
and coaches
no.
his ceiling is an unreliable #3 option. not what the spurs need right now.
he’s basically george hill 2.0.
but i mean, if you could get him for a great price then sure …
i’d rather the spurs set their sights on a bigger target though.
our rebounding stats would double and he can score.. yes
Hear you 100.
I'd include Pop in the deal.
Celtics traded Doc Rivers for a 1st round pick!
"The Clippers acquired Rivers from the Celtics for an unprotected 2015 NBA first-round draft pick2."
Pop, McDermott and give back ATL 1 of the picks they gave us.
Ya just what the Spurs need ...a cancer on the team
Still a relatively small sample size and I'm skeptical he can maintain.
Jones makes sense as a minor trade asset for teams where the Spurs would upgrade at PG, but the opposing team is trying to win now.
Plus, his lack of size and shooting will always be issues on a team that can't afford more of those.
Clear him out and in this scenario, they'd have Wesley (makes sense to give him a look before the draft likely buries him for good)/Mills to eat up about 15 mpg behind Murray or if they're that opposed to them, continue to shoehorn Branham into it.
Psssh DJ damn near averaged a triple double his last year with the Sporks.
21 / 9 /8
This season he's a career best 38% on treys with the Hawks.
Plays D too.
Pop is tradeable tho.
Thread is about Murray not Popovich. Try to stay on topic.
pacers have come back down to earth. whoever they want minus wemby + 3 or 4 picks for bruce brown, buddy hield, myles turner.
Very on topic.
Try to keep up.
Would you consider joining Pop in ATL?
Thread is about Murray coming back to the Spurs. Start your thread about Rivers or post under one of the 100 fire pop threads. Try to keep up baby girl.
Those ATL picks are the best thing going for this franchise. He'll no.
the leader
So, if they trade him, they’re basically the team that made the ECFs, minus 20/10 Collins and a few other pieces? Where do I sign? That team caught more than a few breaks, and punched way above its weight.
Nope. DJM is not the type of vet mentor I’d be hoping for. More like Lowry or someone like him
Bigger target for sure. But Spurs are not competing this season (or the next). So I dont think FO will go for trades this season unless it's for picks
Pass. Don't need another guard with an unreliable jumper.
His defense has fallen off a cliff since his days in SA. So much so, that Young is now taking the more difficult defensive assignments of the two... it's that bad. And if DJM were actually Derozan 2.0 as you say, he would be very useful. Unfortunately that's not the case and he's an inferior player in most ways to prime Demar
