I KNOW ITS BEEN POSTED DONT @ ME lol

Have we gotten sexier?  Don't get me wrong, women love Italian dudes like Danilo, but look at this woman's gaze.  I think she is ready for the cameras to turn off.  Dejounte is man spreading to send out the vibe.  She is leaning in and about to fall on top of him.

Everyone is talking about how Murray will help Trae defensively, but I think the biggest beneficiary will be Dre. Dre no longer has to guard the best wing or switch on to Murray's man. Those screens were killing him last year and he will have far fewer. Also, he is a great team defender and half court defender and not a steals guy or block shots guy. Clint and Murray will complement this very well.

This will improve Dre's defensive rebounding rate.

That would be a pleasant surprise this season.

Good call.

I hope so.

Another thing Murray will bring that no one is talking about  his constant activity and offensive rebounding. One thing I could never understand is why our guys would stand around and watch a long three point shot from Trae and no one anticipates that it will miss. Active teams like Miami, The Bucks, and Golden State always have a wing crashing the boards. Murray will instinctively do this and it will lead to easy points for him and improve our offensive efficiency. He also moves well without the basketball and Trae always finds the open cutter.

His rebound rate was just as terrible in college so I wouldn't hold my breath on that specific point.

"Trae, be very careful on defense.  We can't afford to lose your offense."

With the arrival of Murray this will no longer be a giant problem.  This alone should be a help with our team defense.  It hasn't been a problem of he can't play better defense, just that he couldn't afford to foul out.  How many times has this happened?  Not many.  He rarely fouls.

Glen Willis has been putting out a lot of Dejounte Murray content.  The Durant news stole the attention from this Murray.  We got a rising star in their prime, and everyone is bummed about Huerter.  
 

Guys, this is the off-season move of the decade.  How are we taking this so casually?  Without this deal we’d be trying to dangle JC and picks…getting nowhere.

The more "other" news, the quieter about our upcoming season, the easier it becomes to "sneak up" on our opponents in the regular season.  Great example.  Our Atlanta Falcons are rated as one of the worst teams in the NFL. They aren't great but they are better than most of these NFL "experts" believe.  (But all of us Squawk posters should be wide awake about the Hawks.)

Under repair.

I'm a little bummed out about Huerter, but I'm also excited for Murray.  I suspect that's where most everyone who likes Kev is at.  I know some folks were never high on him, and that's cool.  Personally, I loved everything he brought to the table - especially his attitude and how well he meshed with the team.  None of us believed he was a #2 or #3 option and I personally never overlooked his flaws.  I just never had any real complaints - he gave what I expected every game.

I understand cap flexibility, the need to get better defensively, the logjam at SG now that we have Murray, and the fact that the market for Bogi is bad.  I get it and I also understand that there may be another move to follow this up as suggested by an insider.  I still hate to see Kev go.  Though I've moved on.

As for Murray, I'm putting it out there right now that people underestimate how impactful this move was.  Offensively, Trae and Murray both excel at drawing the defense.  This is going to open up the floor and cause serious problems for the opps.  If Murray can reliably hit spot ups, the East is in trouble.  Defensively, things are looking just as good and I personally think that Trae is going to step up and surprise people. 

We're about to have a GREAT year.

Just to make it perfectly clear I’m not Glen Willis… although he’s really pushing it…
