It didn’t take long for Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray to speak out after agreeing to terms on a new four-year, $120 million contract extension on July 6 that should keep him in a Hawks uniform through the 2027-28 campaign. Atlanta gave up a substantial trade package to acquire the one-time All-Star and 2021-22 steals champ.
“ATLANTA #DM5 Been Locked In From The Moment Y’all Accepted Me,” Murray tweeted not long after word of his new deal broke. “LOYALTY OVER EVERYTHING. Let’s Gooooooooooooooo!!!!!! #TrueToATLANTA.”
It’s an extension (and apparent confirmation) of his message from the day before when it seemed he was alluding to something.
