The Atlanta Hawks aren’t tearing it down.
Dealing away Dejounte Murray, whom they dealt away three first-round picks to acquire, would certainly be the first sign that a teardown could be coming.
“The Hawks have told opposing teams Atlanta is open to conversations about all of its roster outside of Trae Young,” reported Yahoo Sports NBA insider Jake Fischer on June 16. “That does not mean the Hawks are actively shopping Dejounte Murray.”
Murray, 26, is heading into the final year of a four-year, $64 million contract that, under even the new CBA, would see him leave money on the table were he to extend.
