Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Dealt to New Orleans

The Hawks traded Murray to the Pelicans on Friday in exchange for two future first-round picks, Dyson Daniels and Larry Nance, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Murray averaged a career-high 22.5 points, along with 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals, in 35.7 minutes across 78 games in 2023-24. However, his fit alongside Trae Young was troubling, especially on the defensive end. In New Orleans, Murray will likely return to his natural point guard spot and will be flanked on the wing by CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram.
