Pops does tend to structure his sets well to drag players up. And Murray's sole All-Star/quality impact season WAS with San Antonio (though he's getting more corner 3s since he's been in Atlanta).
I get the Lakers rumors, but I don't love the Lakers once again downgrading their shooting (D'Lo to Dejounte). Sure he's shooting 38% from 3 (and is solid at pull up 3s) but his averages over the past 3 years on C&S and wide open looks are very poor.
Russell is definitely a superior above-break 3pt shooter. He's also a bleh impact player on O, but the Lakers need all the spacing they can get. The question becomes "is Murray in the corner of comparable value to Russell's impact as an above-break guy unassisted," I guess.
