Dejounte Murray TRADE To The Golden State Warriors – Should They Do It?

Dejounte Murray TRADE To The Golden State Warriors – Should They Do It?

For the first time really during this entire Warriors Championship run and you know the extension into a couple more years here they are open for business at the trade deadline I think they are willing to listen uh to to really anybody on that roster except for one

Player Steph Curry as W said In that clip everyone is basically on the table for the Golden State Warriors except for number 30 and with about 4 weeks away from the trade deadline a massive move in the Bay Area seems inevitable now at this this point among the names that

Have been heavily linked with the dubs in the last couple of weeks are Zack LaVine low marinan but more recently a new name has entered the mix according to the Athletics Anthony Slater the Hawks guard dejonte Murray has drawn interest from the Warriors camp and to put more credibility on that rumor other

Sources have also reported that the Hawks are open to almost anything in exchange for Murray after acquiring him in a blockbuster trip trade two seasons ago from the Spurs it’s more than likely that the once promising backcourt tandem of Trey young and dejonte Murray is

About to come to an end and as far as Murray is concerned a lot of teams are also being linked with him aside from the Warriors such as the Pacers Lakers and interestingly enough the San Antonio Spurs but in this video we’ll be focusing on the Warriors and let’s talk

About what kind of deal they could put up so that they could potentially land dejon Murray now before we could get to the trade specifics let’s first talk about why the dubs should push for this trade and ultimately what does a player like Murray bring to the table in the

First place in terms of physical tools Murray is a big and lengthy two guard standing at 6’5 with a 6’10 wingspan the Warriors have always put a premium on length and versatility when it comes to acquiring new players so there’s no question here that Murray will seamlessly fit to any kind of lineup

That Steve KR inserts him into whether it’s the traditional lineup or some kind of a variation of the death lineup now in terms of system fit I think Murray can adjust quickly under Steve Kerr because the Warriors often run similar motion heavy offensive sets like the

Spurs with an emphasis on split cuts and read and react type of reactions and if the dubs try to gear their offense down to a much slower methodical approach in the halfcourt sets Murray can also thrive on that pace as well cuz he’s also a great pick and roll initiator who

Can create his own shot as well as hit his bigs on the roll or on the pop anyway with that settled let’s now take a look at what the dubs can put together in exchange for dejonte Murray so the first trade package I have in mind goes

Something like this the Warriors have to send Andrew Wiggins Gary pton II mosus Moody and a bunch of future assets specifically a 2027 first round pick and two two second round picks while the Hawks send Murray and Clint capella in return now the big thing is the three

Future picks cuz I don’t see any scenario of the Hawks taking wigs gp2 and Moody straight up for Murray and capella but as far as this transaction goes I think this is a good and fair trade for all parties involved we’re all aware that Wiggins was not the same

Player who played a pivotal role in the dubs Championship run two seasons ago and with the trade deadline fast approaching reports have indicated that he’s one of the players who’s more than likely to be shipped out due to his deteriorating performance though this might sound bad for wigs a change of

Scenery might help him a lot with whatever he’s going through right now and as for gp2 I think his defensive prowess can complement Trey Young’s offensive Firepower at the back court and for Moody his capability as a 3 andd floor spacer will surely benefit the

Hawk second unit big time now as for the dubs we all know that their main problem over the last couple seasons has been the lack of size and with Clint capella on board the Warriors will finally have a solid presence down low who can defend

At a high level and serve as a rim roller on the other end if this trade happens this new look Warriors will feature Steph Murray clay Draymond and capella and should the Warriors go for a more offensive oriented lineup kaminga should be a suitable replacement for Draymond in the starting five although I

Don’t see this as a championship contending lineup this is really a major upgrade from the pieces that they’re currently working with I mean with Clay regressing big time this season Murray can become Steph’s new Splash brother cuz not only can he put up buckets he’s also once established a reputation of

Being a solid perimeter Defender as he made the all defensive team first team in the 2017 to 18 season when he was playing with the Spurs and also led the league in steals back in 2021 with this said Murray can cover for both clay and Steph on the defensive end if the

Opposing team tries to hunt them on mismatches and this allows for the Splash Brothers to solely focus on putting points on the board which is their specialty after all well speaking of scoring that’s what the dubs badly need right now because aside from Steph and JK as of late they don’t really have

Someone who can get Buckets consistently but if they get Murray then he might just be the scoring fix that they’re looking for see aside from his defensive prowess muray has been averaging 20.8 points on 46.7% shooting from the field and 38.6% from three this season and on

Top of that he’s also bringing in 4.8 rebounds 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game although his 20.8 point output is not going to be the ultimate solution to their current current problems it will certainly give the dubs some assurance that someone is going to back Steph

Every night on the scoring end anyway if the Hawks don’t agree with that trade package then the dubs can switch things up by sending Chris Paul Jonathan kuminga one first round pick and one second round pick for Murray and DeAndre Hunter I mean almost all trade reports

Right now are eyeing for the trade package that’s got Jonathan kaminga in it and if this deal pushes through then there’s no doubt that the Hawks have already found the perfect piece that they could partner Trey young with in the years to come kinga’s nuclear athleticism fits quite well with Trey’s

Outside oriented game I mean I don’t want to get ahead of myself on this but the closest thing we can get from this projected pairing is the Giannis Lillard combo over in Milwaukee I’m not saying they’re at that level yet but hear me out I mean Giannis was once just a

Skinny kid who barely played in the NBA but when he got the right opportunity he turned into the Greek Freak and as they say the rest was history kaminga was in the same position as Giannis back in his younger days I mean a young insanely athletic kid who doesn’t see enough

Floor time but as we saw this season JK is playing really well if he’s given the minutes now on the other hand Trey young is a dynamic scorer who can reain down threes from the logo just like Lillard so you see the glaring similar ity of these two tandems is quite evident and

To make matters worse for the dubs recent news came out that JK has lost all Faith to Steve Kerr and despite the fact that Warriors already said that JK is basically Untouchable there’s still a small chance that JK could be traded or go elsewhere on his own terms given his

Utter dismay at his head coach and so if JK goes to the Hawks there’s a pretty good chance that he’ll Bloom into an Allstar in no time given how he’s been heavily held back during his time in the Bay Area now on the other hand with CP3

Out of the picture Murray will then become the Dub’s primary ball handler and facilitator and as I mentioned earlier this is the type of role that Murray will thrive in cuz he’s not only capable of creating offense for himself but for everyone else as well anyway whether they pounce for marinin or

Murray the dubs desperately need to make a move this trade deadline to turn their season around and possibly give themselves a chance to save their Dynasty I mean it’s still unclear who they’re going to go for but whoever it is that player must deliver right away

Cuz the clock is ticking and the time is quickly running out on them

Dejounte Murray to the Golden State Warriors
