YES!!  I would be over the moon for that result.  I think Murphy will be a star next to Trae.  

yeah that would be a crazy good for us

Pretty please?  On a side note— would this trade not be a Billy Knight dream?  

JJ | Jones | Murphy | Hunter | Okongwu

I've been hoping we can make something happen with the Pels since it was announced DJ was on the market.  Pels or TWolves have been the two teams that make the most sense (from both sides I'd argue).

[Sothron]

Herb Jones and Tre Murphy would be ideal for this team. Jones solves our POA defense and Murphy is a solid starter or sixth man for the inevitable Hunter injury.

I’ll take herb Jones and Dyson for Murray!

trade Young for assets in the off-season

and build around jj herb. D Dyson with the assets!

Shooting 43% from 3 this year on 8 attempts. He's not the first target for us but a perfect SG next to Trae.

I feel like we saw something similar to what a Trae/McCollum back court would look like when he played with Dame and it's not something that wins it all.

Haynes first but confirmed the report with my source. Hawks discussions with New Orleans is very real. Not sure New Orleans will meet the price but they do have a boatload of picks to meet it.

0% chance they trade Trey Murphy AND Herb. I doubt they ever come off of Murphy period - they need his spacing.

I agree.  He is also on the wrong side of 30 and has multiple years left on the deal.

Shucks — they want to give us picks.  That means more likely Nance - Daniels - pick(s).

Spot on. Would be a great package imo. Dyson is a legit player hawks have had interest in dating back to draft

[Jody23]

Prioritize players over picks, Hawks!!!

I think Murphy would end up being the prize.  He is ready to take that next step.  

I would start him next to Trae.  

Tray / Murphy

Jones / Hunter 

OO

4 defenders that make up for Trae and also 3 and D guys.  THis is an excellent lineup.  It may also make Hunter expendable as well and allow JJ to start.
