ATLANTA -- The Hawks, who allow the most points per game in the NBA and are struggling to remain above the cutoff line for the play-in tournament, surprised many by not making a move before Thursday's trade deadline.

There was much speculation the Hawks would consider a trade involving shooting guard Dejounte Murray, who joins Trae Young to give Atlanta a high-scoring backcourt that hasn't produced a winning record. General manager Landry Fields said Friday no offer fit the team's long-term goals.

"I think we'll know when it's time to move on from players," said Fields.
