If Lakers are making a play for Dejounte, it wouldn’t shock me if 1) Brooklyn was the third team to take D Lo and 2) Hawks find a way to convince LAL to take Clint Capela and shed further money off their books. Itll be interesting to see how it plays out

I can see the first thing happening. The Brooklyn Nets are prioritizing 2025 cap space. If they can’t get upcoming free agents like Spencer Dinwiddie to agree to one year extensions, it would make sense to trade for players like D’Angelo Russell under contract for next season.

Milwaukee Bucks are among multiple teams who are registering interest in trading for Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.

The Bucks would have to include Bobby Portis and Pat Connaughton to even make a legal trade for Dejounte Murray.
Milwaukee only has two tradable future draft picks: 2024 2nd (via Trail Blazers) + 2027 2nd.

The Wizards are expected to eagerly act as a trade facilitator over the next few weeks, per @MikeAScotto (https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-trade-de...-pelicans/).
Washington is willing to take on unwanted salaries in multi-team deals for future draft picks and young players.
I can't believe a very good player like Murray, locked long-term on a very good deal, would go for such a small return.
Stein is saying (on his chat):
A team has yet to emerge that is willing to meet Atlanta's demands in a Murray swap. The Hawks are said to be seeking two future firsts and team-friendly contracts in return. But there are still nearly three weeks to go for someone to make that sort of offer.
