Hawks pursuit of a “second star” results in the acquisition of Dejounte Murray

It was reported on Wednesday that a deal between the Atlanta Hawks and San Antonio Spurs to move All-Star guard Dejounte Murray to Atlanta in exchange for Danilo Gallinari and three future first-round picks (2023 via Charlotte, 2025, 2027) as well as a pick swap (2026). The 2025 and 2027 picks are unprotected.

It unquestionably a bold move as teams essentially don’t trade fully unprotected picks anymore. But Trae Young, continuing his ascension as a star in the league, is about to enter his fifth season and the first in which he will play on a max contract.
