What to make of the Dejounte Murray-to-Atlanta rumors

It’s that dead period between the draft and free agency, when rumors begin running amuck in anticipation of July 1. Perhaps the most prominent one floating around involves Spurs guard Dejounte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks. It was already reported prior to the draft that the Spurs were doing their due diligence and listening to offers for their star guard but were demanding the “Jrue Holiday Package”, a.k.a. a borderline star player (at worst) and three future first round picks.

That seems like a lot to ask and likely something no one would bite on, but now more smoke is being added to the fire as Hawks forward John Collins (there’s that name again) is reportedly “done” with Atlanta, and he and three first round picks would theoretically fit the criteria of the “Jrue Holiday Package”.
