guy pads empty stats...even though its not his fault for crashing the boards when spurs have scrubs upfront afraid to crash the boards...
when the spurs need a counter basket, dont expect coming from him or that other scrub lonnie...
dj aint a volume scorer, he aint going to change much offensively from what he is now...just borderline 20-21ppg is good enough for him, but not good enough for the spurs who really need that volume scorer
Murray would of looked trash in that hawks red
Dejounte averaged 25ppg for the month of March. What do you mean he isn't going to get better. He got better and better just in each month of the season. He got sick and didn't get to show what he could do in April (he only played the 1 game).
He's too to emotional.
Bruh we have Brahnam coming. He’s a volume scorer. Plus Devin, Primo, Zollins should all be better.
What I don’t like about DJ is he gambles for a steal, and sometimes he gets burn and his guy blows him by. I rather he stays in front and lock his guy down. That I suspect he pads a little, I hate to say it. I think he could do a better job being a lockdown defender, but he loses that steals king stat. Just my observation.
Yepper!
Good call.
I was against moving Murray at the start... but after some of his instagram post the dude is stupid af. No way he can lead a city with his bull .
DJ living it up in Abu Dhabi ahead of Mil/ATL exhibition game. Probs about to on some IG thotties with Arab Sheikhs on a yacht.
you think he misses us?!?
Not right now particularly, but I would bet he will in the mid-long future, tbh. Being "the guy" on an NBA team is the dream for many, many players, and as long as Trae is still in ATL, he'll never get that; and Dejounte specifically has the personality type where that could matter to him significantly.
Wouldn't be surprised to see him yearn for the "good old days", especially if the pairing doesn't work as expected and he's shipped out (ofc he's the first to go between him and Trae) and goes on to have a "journeyman" type career. We'll see.
DJ shouldn't miss us any more than spurs fans should miss him.
This isn’t Stephen Jackson leaving a budding dynasty to get paid. DJ is going to get paid longer term regardless and most likely wins more games along the way. It’s a no-brainer.
NBA ALL-STAR and former Spurs legend Dejounte Murray is about to tipoff his first game as a Hawk.
Go Dejounte Go!!!!
Murray balling the out.
25pts, 9assts, 8Rebs, 2blks on 9/13 shooting. His low post D against bigger players was very impressive.
Good deal for both! I love it for us…..
Like I said, he was playing great as each month of the season went on. His scoring average from Oct. to March (can't count April as he was out sick) was going up and up each month. I think he finished March averaging 25ppg for the month. I think we would have seen a 25ppg+ scorer had he stayed.
I don't disagree, but that's not what you asked either. Money and winning are great, sure, but many players before Dejounte have harshly discovered that there's more to life than that. Fan love and having a place to call Home are important, too, and DJ's career could quite easily turn around into him not having that in the future.
Take Durant, for example, who doesn't even like the one team that will probably retire his jersey (Dubs) and has many times more haters than fans across all 30 teams. Or the classic "they don't love you like that!" bit between Pierce and Draymond. Or etcetera. Once the years start adding up and he takes a long, hard look at his career - I think Dejounte very well could come to miss the Spurs and cherish the years he spent in the "family" and being "the dog" of the young squad.
...or maybe he three-peats with Trae in ATL and has a home there forever, who knows. I was just making the point.
no one was playing any defense in that game against Milwaukee
His Top 10 action where he blocks Portis is laughable... The guy does a nice block indeed, but then instead of following his action and securing the rebounds, he stares at Portis in order to mock him. That results in Milwaukee getting the rebound. Damn he's become such an asshole...
So this is a great example where the Spurs helped him be a better player. He can’t get away with that in a real NBA game when there are real consequences. The flipside is he is in Abu Dhabi for a meaningless exhibition game giving the fans what they want.
I’m not calling for great things in Atlanta but he is already going to be in a better situation from the jump. Financially, lifestyle, standard of living, women, restaurants, nightlife.
My worry is he needs someone around to humble him. Otherwise he’ll be good.
Atl higher cost so maybe not financially. San Antonio is globally recognized for its culinary scene ...maybe more high end restaurants in atl but not necessarily unique flavors
Dj will get caught with a Trans in ATL. They all do.
