Hawks sending guard Dejounte Murray to Pelicans
Published in Basketball
ATLANTA — The Hawks are trading guard Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans, according to a person familiar with the situation.
In return the Hawks will receive veteran forward/center Larry Nance, guard Dyson Daniels, a 2025 first-round pick by way of the Lakers and the lower of a 2027 first-round pick from either the Bucks or the Pelicans, according to an ESPN report.
The move comes as the Hawks have looked to make big changes to their roster despite them acquiring Murray, an All-Star guard, only two years ago.
In two seasons, Murray averaged 21.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists. He also developed his game on the outside, knocking down a higher volume of jumpers consistently. He made a career-best 35.5% of his 3-point shots on 6.2 attempts per game.
