On the trade rumors, Murray told Andscape: “I tell several people who I stand for as a person. That is who Dejounte is. As a man or person, however you want to put it, it’s not appropriate for me to talk about that or let that get in the way for my teammates. I love my teammates. My teammates love me. I’m not a GM, owner, an agent, none of those things. I’m a basketball player. I’m a hooper. So, I continue to learn, lead and work hard.”

When asked how he is staying focused amid trade rumors, Murray said, “I know what the main goal is. The main goal is today. Today I’m an Atlanta Hawk and that’s all that matters. Help do my job and try to get a win. That’s the most important.”

Murray deserves some recognition for being basically the best 3 point shooter on this team with significant volume.   He has improved drastically.  (no jinx no jinx no jinx)

Congrats to DJM!  Well deserved.  Those two Boston wins were big wins that I'm sure got him a lot of good attention.

Teams will regret passing on the opportunity to acquire DJM.  Price has gone up.

I think it deserves its own thread, but I'm too lazy to learn how to embed tweets in here. Thanks!

He won't be traded. Unless our FO is filled with morons. Hawks would be better off trading the other guy.

 

Oh wait... 

[macdaddy]

It would be a classic Hawks move to choose the guy with a stretch of a few months of elite play over a guy with 5 years.

I know what today's price is. 

But let's just keep that between us.

I never thought I’d see him grab POTW.  Major congrats.  Granted being in the East is a huge advantage; the West is a f&@kin Thunderdome.

He’ll never be the defender I thought we were getting (feel free to press full and get up into someone as they approach the arc at some point!) nor will he ever be the most cerebral, one-to-two steps-ahead, offensive floor mapping player that I covet.  But he damn sure has developed an exceptional mid range attack and his career three ball improvement is a marvel.  You rarely see a sh*t shooter evolve into a volume sniper who relishes crunch time attempts, but he damn sure has.  Man dem put that work all the way in.
