This is news that would probably be difficult for Spurs fans to take. The trend ? The Spurs would indeed be on the bridge with regard to a possible departure of their All-Star Dejounte Murray and the latest rumors to date would even report a kind of sell-off aimed at San Antonio to recover Draft rounds history to pay definitively in rebuild mode.
His name had been mentioned a few days ago, for the first time, and it was already the Hawks who seemed to be on the front line with in particular the profile of John Collins who possibly interested the Texas franchise. Then, yesterday, a tweet caught our attention, as Atlanta leg regional Zach Klein dropped a mini-bomb regarding the Murray case.
In talking with multiple sources around the NBA, many believe Hawks on verge of trading for San Antonio’s All-Star guard Dejounte Murray – However, it’s looking like John Collins is not part of deal. Would be Gallo & multiple 1st round picks. Spurs prepping for future & ’23 draft

“From multiple sources around the NBA, a lot of people think the Hawks are close to getting Dejounte Murray. However, it looks like John Collins won’t be part of the deal. Rather, it would be Danilo Gallinari and several first-round picks. Spurs are gearing up for the 2023 Draft.”
After two consecutive failures during the play-in tournament, we would therefore leave on the Texan side’s desire to stop being neither good nor bad, and to pay for good in the category of teams looking to the future with binoculars. A few days ago the board of SA drafted Jeremy Sochan, Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley, Devin Vassell, Joshua Primo and especially Keldon Johnson must be developed as soon as possible, in short, no more room – perhaps – for a guy who is much too strong for the project. We also know, well, that Lonnie Walker IV will probably not be retained, but a departure from DMs, especially once morest “nothing at the moment T” would generally be seen as an admission of renunciation, as a step backwards for a team which does not Haven’t really had the opportunity to experience this kind of situation since apart from the last two average seasons, the Texas franchise has been used to the heights for 25 years and Tim Duncan’s Draft in 97.
A departure of Dejounte Murray as soon as the Free Agency opens would therefore mean an official new start for the Spurs, he who has also known no other locker room than that of the Spurs since his Draft in 2017, since the arrival of Danilo Gallinari as it is mentioned would only bring one more technique to cook Popovich’s pasta. Conversely, the Hawks would constitute one of the most swag and strongest backcourts in the League with Trae and Dejounte, they who are also watching what can be happening around the Capela, Collins and Hunter cases in order to bounce back following a disappointing 2022 season given the expectations and course of the previous season.
Dejounte Murray in the Hawks jersey is a big yes, except, of course, if you are a Spurs fan. We’re not going to lie to each other, it’s my case, so I’ll leave you because I have an appointment with the ENT at 10:30 a.m. to have the crushed glass that I just ingested removed at the sight of the tweet above .
