I dunno man, have you watched him this year? The dude is really defending well...chasing guys around with his nimble feet & length...and hitting a lot of big shots for Minnesota. The guy may just suck as a rim protector but have started to mature after covid wiped out half his kin.
I still dunno how much of an upgrade over Julius he'd be given how much we already lack for non-Brunson creation, but I'm becoming a believer. The way he defended Jokic in the playoffs really opened my eyes...not sure anyone has defended the Joker as well as KAT.

I was told that's not a credible source earlier...but yeah. After Windhorst confirmed we've talked to them about Murray, it sounds like we at least kicked the tires, to see if we could buy low on him.
I guess it ultimately it depends if that means two unprotected future FRPs, or just 2 FRPs. Because if our FO didn't even offer the lower of DAL/NYK FRP this spring + the WSH maybe FRP, we can assume their interest was just in the potential bargain.
But if our FO just didn't want to give up any of the picks they'd need to complete a superstar trade this summer, then they could still be very interested but just unable to pay Atlanta's price.

did the hawks get 4 unprotected picks for murray or were they protected? if unprotected then i think the hawks would want 2 unprotected picks in return and it makes sense why nobody is meeting that price

Reports have varied from a player worth 2 FRPs and another pick or 2FRPs . Will be interesting to see where it ends up. Because if it is only 2FRPs we are in a very good position to offer better picks than the competition.

Looks like it was 2 unprotected FRPs, 1 unprotected swap, and the protected FRP we gave them for Reddish.
Hawks receive:
• Dejounte Murray
• Jock Landale
Spurs receive:
• Danilo Gallinari
• 2023 first-round pick (via Charlotte from New York, protected)
• 2025 first-round pick
• 2026 pick swap
• 2027 first-round pick

That’s quite the haul lol I think they’re asking for 2 unprotected picks in return since that’s like half of what they gave up

They should do it. We have so many draft picks. Stop fronting.

Yeah, there's a reason people make jokes about selling Murray being the one good move the spurs have made in the past 5 years
Atlanta really misjudged things after that ECF run and gave up way too much for the completely wrong guy.
