On May 13, Beijing time, ESPN's Woshen reported that this is a great opportunity for the Hawks to rebuild their roster, and they have discussed a trade with Dejounte Murray, and I think the Hawks management will also negotiate a trade with Trae Young. If the Hawks want to get young and start rebuilding, the Hawks will make a change and use the No. 1 pick to pick a player they think is worth developing.
NBA reporter Evan Sdigri also said that the Hawks have a chance to reset their roster after the No. 1 pick, and Atala is already exploring trading Dejounte Murray and Trae Young, whose big changes will make the offseason trade market very active.
Trae Young signed a five-year, $172 million contract extension with the Hawks in 2021, which ends in the 26-27 season, and Murray agrees to a four-year, $120 million contract extension with the Hawks in 2023, which will end in the 27-28 season.
Murray's performance in the middle and late season obviously surpassed Trae Young, at first Lakers fans thought that the Hawks would keep Murray so they hoped that the team would trade Trae Young, but now Murray is also going to be traded, so Lakers fans began to imagine the scene of Murray joining. Murray is averaging 22.5 points, 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.42 steals and 0.31 blocks in 35.7 minutes per game this season, and he is 1.93 meters barefoot.
The Lakers media is already looking forward to Murray joining the Lakers this offseason. Originally, the Lakers had the hope of getting Murray before the trade deadline, but the Hawks asked Reaves for Pelinka to reject the trade, and now Pelinka should understand that Reaves' ability is far inferior to Murray.
There is a set of plans simulated by the Lakers, and the Lakers send Hachimura, Reaves, Vincent, Schifino, and the first round from the Hawks in 2025 in exchange for Murray + Capela.
If the deal goes through, Anthony Davis could return to the No. 4 spot, with the Lakers starting: Murray, Christie, James, Bushy Eyebrows, Capela. (Russell jumps out of contract and becomes a free agent)
