O.k. @macdaddy  How much would you pay for a player like Murray in 2 years?  Keep in mind he will be unrestricted

I don't know but would like to see how he does in a better scheme next year first.  Still i think he's probably 4/100.

Huerter cost $14 mil per season.  Doubt Murray is anywhere near that amount.

He wants the MAX.. lol

Imagine paying two max salaries for this tiny 2 pg backcourt........

We'll be forever MID if this happens..

And deservedly so.......

No one is paying Murray close to the max. 

[Peoriabird]

Exactly @terrelland somehow posters think he is going to sign on the cheap! This why many want to take this wait and see approach. He will want a minimum of $30 mil per season based on his fake inflated offensive numbers.

Agreed.  I think most players understand their value more than we think.   Yeah there are a few exceptions but Murray knew when he came here that his numbers were going to take a massive hit playing with Trae.  I think he's trying to mold himself into a great second fiddle on a winning team.    Hawks have been a mess all year.   When it's not a mess anymore i think we'll be real happy to have him.

He doesn't have inflated numbers this season.   And last i checked we don't have to pay guys what they want.   I don't understand all the worry about what he will want in another year if you don't want him anyway.  I guarantee we aren't paying Murray the max. 

[Peoriabird]

Then he will walk for nothing!!! And we will have given up 3 1st round picks for a underwhelming 2 year rental!

That's a lot of ifs for something that is a year away.    I expect the team opening day next year will look really different than the current team.  He hasn't underwhelmed in year 2 yet.  We haven't paid him anything yet.  We haven't not traded him yet.  There's a lot left to happen.

The number that has dropped the most and is most surprising to me is his rebounding total.

Yeah but were the Spurs even playing very many bigs?  DJ is still the highest rebounding wing on the team by a good bit.  He only trails CC, OO, and JC.

I didn’t realize he was over 5, seems less because he’s rarely pushing hard off the glass and he isn’t a traffic rebounder at all.  There was a close up camera shot of him from behind from out of bounds, I was taken aback at how skinny his legs were.  I bet Trae could squat more than him.

When you play with Clint and OO.. there aren't that many rebounds to go around. 

 

[Peoriabird]

Which means his value isn't as high as what we paid but it's time to cut our loses like teams do with Kyrie every chance they get.

This year - Murray - $16,571,120.00  

[Hawkmoor]

Murray cost the Hawks 3 first round picks, sucked, then gonna bounce.

[Peoriabird]

Talking about his new contract

[Gray Mule]

Closing five.  AJ Griffin has already proved to me that he is a clutch shooter.  Last night, with only a very short time, they inbounded it to him and he made the shot.  I remember him hitting 2 game winners.  

He's not afraid of the moment!

You think his next contract will be for less than $14M per?

[Peoriabird]

Sorry Terrell,  I have to re-post for posters like @AHF who want to enter the conversation without following the thread
