  1. I’d do this. Murray would be a lock starter with bron and AD.

    Get D’Lo to run the second unit or trade for another starter from the nets.

  2. Nope, if you’re going to trade Reaves, wait until the summer so you can attach multiple picks and get Trae or DMitch. Actual superstars that can stay on this team for the long term

  3. Sources: any deal for Murray would likely have to include deez and nuts. – @deeznuts

  4. We gotta get over the Reaves love affair around here. If trading him makes the team better then I’m all for it.

  5. I would literally stop watching basketball if we made this move.

    Austin is on a better contract and much better than Murray as a glue guy to a championship team.

    Not only that, Murray struggled mightily getting to the rim. Go look at his eFG% on drives to the rim. He’s in the top 10 with guys like Fred Van Vleet.

    When his jumper is not on fire, he doesn’t do much else offensively which literally makes him a DLo clone.

    Sure defensively he might be better and he is slightly more athletic…but nah man. Nah.

  6. A lot of reporting this time of year doesn’t really mean much. Hawks want as much they can get, suitors want to give as little as possible, they meet somewhere in the middle. This stuff is all posturing

  7. I’m in. Hopefully we get back Bey maybe, Murray and Bey for Rui and Reaves plus a pick is a huge win

  8. Isn’t this the guy that got suspended from a playoff game for trying to punk a ref?

    The Spurs gave up on him and it’s looking like ATL is trying to do the same. Stay far away.

  9. If Dejounte could shoot or play off ball then sure. You get Reaves and Rui. We get Dejounte and Capela. But he can’t.

  10. I swear to everything purple and gold I’ll find rob and throw a fucking egg at him if he sends Reaves ANYWHERE

  11. Think it goes without saying that this isn’t just Reaves/Rui for Murray, financially it has to bring back someone else like a Capela/Hunter. Idk what the Hawks are doing tbh as anything we give them is a lateral move. But….

    Hawks: Reaves/Rui/JHS and 1st/swaps

    Lakers: Murray/Capela/Bey

    Hawks would be getting more tradable contracts, get off Murray’s long term deal and avoid having to pay Bey this summer as a restricted free agent. Think that offer could get Murray and Capela or Hunter but Bey might be too much.

  12. if this happens, watch Rui turn into a 20-10 player in less then a month. How is this guy, who can shoot, drive, (even has a soft fade-away), all in a big strong body, not a FOCAL point of our offense. Yes i watch the games, and I know he has that big of potential. This FO is great at losing great players, the few we can find.

  13. We can probably trade for tyus Jones and Gafford or Javon carter and Drummond for a way cheaper price and address our pg and backup center needs for cheaper. Only difference is Javon is a defensive specialist 3nD guard and tyus is a less offensively potent Dlo, but more consistent, atleast in the regular season

  14. Salary wise, it doesn’t make sense. Those Reaves and Rui combine to make 27.7 million. Murray is currently making 18.2 million before his extension kicks in next season.

  15. Honestly I’d go for either Reaves or Rui, but not both. Murray is a very nice two way player and I think better than Reaves and Rui individually, but he’s not worth losing both.

  16. DM doesn’t help the Lakers get to the second round, let alone escape the 1st round. Lakers need depth and better shooting.
