The Spurs Trading Dejounte Murray Is A Stupid Idea

Spurs on verge of trading Dejounte Murray to Hawks for picks, not John Collins

The Spurs might still trade Dejounte Murray to the Hawks – but with Danilo Gallinari, not John Collins as matching salary.

This season, San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray emerged as a star.

[{"selector":"#anim-42c0d69d-6f66-48da-bda0-d5e7c9f74601","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":900,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-00b11450-3303-49ff-99a1-3d74c0b29c4d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The 25-year-old averaged 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 9.2 assists and earned his first trip to the NBA All-Star Game.

However, the Spurs are reportedly looking to trade Murray.

[{"selector":"#anim-4f701f97-a40c-4f0c-846b-8b859afab473","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":900,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9985d66-4042-433d-82c7-2ca89fd40b06 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-7.105427357601002e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Murray May Be The Only Spurs Player With Real Promise

[{"selector":"#anim-1df04946-c0d4-47e1-a95d-e33b11f1c574","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":900,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91874614-f025-4967-8b2b-c966fdddcee3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

But now, they have been forced to start from scratch.

Murray played particularly well after the calendar turned over into the new year
