The San Antonio Spurs have agreed to trade Dejounte Murray for the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Danilo Gallinari, three future picks in the first round and a first-round selective swap, CBS Sports HQ’s Bill Reiter confirmed Wednesday.
Murray, who returned late in the first round in 2016, is coming off the best season of his career, leading the league in steals and making an All-Star game for the first time. He averaged 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 9.2 assists, and two steals, while shooting 46.2 percent from the field. All of these degrees were at the highest professional levels. The Hawks will now pair him with Trae Young to form one of the best young backyards in the league.
As for Spurs, they are heading towards rebuilding – which they hope will put them in the first pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and a chance to grab French big man Victor Wimpanyama.
CBS Sports will continue to update this breaking news story.
