re: KOC: League sources "expect" Pelicans to be aggressive in trade market

I know there are some Klutch and personality red flags around Murray, but the more I look at him and his potential fit, he just seems like the guy to go after.

100% agree he should be a big target of ours, and I think ATL would be ecstatic to get BI for him.

and he's also a big upgrade over CJ as a defender.

Murray had more deflections this year than Herb. He was one of the top in the league at it. And you mentioned his rebounding. It's why i keep saying we need to go after Tobias Harris. Murray and Herb are good rebounders, Trey and Tobias with their length are really good rebounders, and if Zion gives the effort he can be really good rebounder. If all 5 simply give the effort to team rebound, they can close games with that small lineup, even though i don't htink it's that small. Murray and Herb have big wingspans and Trey and Tobias are both around 6'9" with Tobias having some weight to him to handle bigger guys.

- Your ball handling and creation improve as Murray has been an All Star level PG. His last season with the Spurs he averaged 9.2 assists and 2.6 turnovers while scoring 21 points per game.

And that's what's needed if you lose BI. You have to get a PG back that can create on his own and get his own shot off, and Murray can do that.
No more BI and Zion playing PG.
