The Atlanta Hawks' Dejounte Murray-Trae Young experiment didn't work out, but the aftermath of it did, at least for Atlanta. They received Dyson Daniels, E.J. Liddell, Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller, and two first-round picks from the Pelicans last summer. Who is winning that trade? The Hawks.
Murray played 31 games for New Orleans this past season, averaging 17.5 points per game (his lowest since the 2020-21 season when he was still with the Spurs) on 39.3% shooting from the field and 29.9% from three. His season ended in January after he ruptured his Achilles. Murray will miss most — if not all — of next season.
