I get the money factor plays a big role, but guys values don’t change dramatically in the span of a 2 months.
Two months ago, when we were the 4 seed and had a top 3 net ranking while everyone was healthy, and ATL was shitting the bed, you can’t tell me BI and Murray had somewhat near value. ATL couldn’t get anything for Murray at the trade deadline.

BI and Trae get hurt and now Murray has similar value to BI based on 20 games played?

And I’m not saying I don’t want to get Murray, B/c I do, but he’s coming here as a PG, and I have to trade my two SGs and keep my horrible defender and “pg” in CJ. That makes no sense and doesn’t make us better.
Murray/Herb backcourt is better than Murray/CJ by a lot. I’m not trading Herb.
I’m not trading Herb.

I don’t care enough about Jarrett Allen to make that trade and lose Herb.

If the trade was simply #10 and Murray for BI, then I’ll do that.

I hear you and I hope they can find a better way. I think Atlanta doesn’t want to take a step back and would want a good starter to take Murray’s place. Maybe you bring in a 4th team and the Pels can find an alternative, like Dyson and pick for Wiggins if Golden State is dumping him as has been speculated.

They couldn't get the right deal that worked for them, which is very different from they couldn't get anything.
