Even ESPN sees how the Hawks brilliantly transferred doom to another team

Dejounte Murray has been the focal point of two of the worst trades in recent memory, according to ESPN's Zach Kram.

In 2022, the Hawks swung for the fences in hopes of finding their backcourt partner for Trae Young. The Hawks traded two Atlanta first round picks and a first round pick swap with Atlanta (all unprotected) and a heavily protected Charlotte first for Murray.

The original Murray trade was a disaster that crippled the Hawks. The Murray-Young era was a failure despite nailing the Jalen Johnson draft pick. The Hawks were left without assets to reload their roster.
