Best places to deal Dejounte Murray following the Hawks’ disastrous NBA Play-In Tournament performance..

The Atlanta Hawks’ season is over. The Chicago Bulls handed them a 131-116 loss on Wednesday in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. As a result, plenty of questions will ensue regarding the future of the Hawks’ franchise. In particular, whether or not they elect to trade one of Trae Young or Dejounte Murray.

The Hawks missed the playoffs after giving the Boston Celtics a frisky six-game series a year ago. But more damning than that has been how poorly Young and Murray have fit together again this season. The pairing simply has not worked. It’s time to move on. The Hawks nearly did just at the trade deadline, but could not find an offer they were looking for. Perhaps they can trade Murray this summer—maybe even to the Los Angeles Lakers or Golden State Warriors.

No team was hotter on the Hawks’ tails for Murray at the trade deadline than the Lakers. The two teams talked at length before the deadline and a deal looked like it was going to happen at one point.
