Jake Fischer, senior reporter at Yahoo Sports, recently released an article shedding light on the Atlanta Hawks and their future plans. Notably, Fischer identifies just two untouchables for the Hawks.
As anticipated by many fans, the article mentions Dejounte Murray as “a former All-Star whom the Hawks have made widely available, according to league sources.” Fischer describes the Hawks as open for business with several contracts on the table.
Yet Murray’s four-year, $114 million extension that begins in 2024-25 does make him an intriguing trade target for any team with backcourt questions. We’ll see just how preemptively front offices move this winter before harsher tax penalties kick into effect next season as part of the NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement.
