I want Phoenix to come out and say they have no interest in Murray so badly…

Can’t even get traded for Jalen Green, who is also a hell no, but he doesn’t have the cache to hold us hostage.

Let’s gooo. Get this weak arse mfer out of our state. Trade for someone who will play hard and they will immediately be better than that bitch.

Hopefully Dumars won't be dumb enough to take back Jalen Green and add another year of a bad contract. Green has a $36 million cap hit for next year. Oof.

Yeah that’s what I was just searching up. I was trying to look and see what else they had on their roster.

Murray makes 30m next year so it only adds 6m to our cap. Not that bad

I like Jalen Green more than most but he doesn’t defend either so I just don’t get how he fits beside Fears.

I want to get Murray out of town as much as anybody but I would not be super happy with a Jalen Green swap. I feel like Green is a much more negative asset than Murray is. Murray is a much better player and about $8 million cheaper per year than Green is for the next 2 seasons.
If you make that swap you are essentially committing to having $35 million tied up in an unplayable player who you can’t move for the next two seasons. It would basically be Poole all over again

Him and Mathurin are a little redundant, but at least Green is better than Poole.

Ideally, we could reroute him for a big that makes a difference.

Yea... The way Murray is playing and doing this during a potential contract year, there no way he's getting anywhere near what he's getting paid opting out. His best path is stfu and playing out his contract and hope he can repair his image by balling out.

This would imply logic being used by him or his representation.

I don’t think big is the team’s weakness. Just put Herb back in at starting SG and the team is better.
PG: Fears
SG: Herb
SF: Trey
PF: Z
C: Matkovich
That team could be formidable with an established identity. Jalen Green off the bench for some spurts, see if he’s hot that night. I do agree it’s kind of a Poole situation all over again. Money makes it hard but also because it’s a Rich Paul client, who knows what he does if we try to send him somewhere he deems less desirable.

The biggest weakness will probably be Poole or AJ Johnson immediately becoming your backup PG.

I actually like Watford, he plays aggressive and gets downhill. He was basically running the point during the Timberwolves game and he played the best of any Pel that game.

Watford has been a good signing even if the stats don’t show it as much.

How many teams he considers desirable will want him, let alone have assets to match?

Dejounte Murray




I think he might have surpassed Eric Gordon for me as biggest bitch. Incredibly unprofessional and childish behavior from him.

Naz Reid wants out of Charlotte. They need a PG since they traded Lamelo. What about Naz for Dejounte? Naz has a longer contract but much cheaper. Gets us a stretch big.
