hootie249 293 Report post Posted June 27, 2022 Murray had a great year but still can't shoot the 3. So, even if i just made a speech about the 3 point shot in another thread i don't think he is an upgrade for us. At least not until we give Suggs and Fultz another shot. Instead we should look at Murray as a blue print for either Fultz or Suggs improvement. Murray showed more before he was injured but he took awhile to get healthy and shoot better. What made his year so special last year was his increased usage ,rebounds and especially assists. All while turning the ball over at the same rate. Now his effective field goal percentage wasn't crazy good but he doubled his free throw rate and greatly increased his steals. This is where Fultz and Suggs can make this team much better. Obviously shoot better but i don't think Fultz will every shoot the 3 that well. Suggs can. However, Fultz biggest jump would come from a greatly increased usage while getting assists,steals and rebounds like Murray while keeping the turnovers down. Murray really is the blueprint to Fultz being on this team past 2023. Suggs is kind of a different player but he has more leeway. Anyhow i would love to get a veteran guard but i have a hunch the head guys want to keep our salary cap clear one more year. So probably some one year rentals at best. Still could pick up a Bryn Forbes or trade for a Shamet or something. I think they want to give our own players one more year to shine. lastly there was a tweet saying Spurs want a Jrue Holiday package for Dejounte. Hard Pass. Maybe next year, if Primo or Wesley break out for them and one of our guys fails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TreyMachine 395 Report post Posted June 29, 2022 Reading the last page is depressing. We all had such high hopes for a Ross trade and trading 2 picks to get back into the first. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,419 Report post Posted June 29, 2022 I’m all in on the Murray train. I think he’s a star… now. Dude’s just entering his prime and is a phenomenal two way player. Honestly, I still think he’ll grow as a player, too. I’d give up anyone not named Paulo or Franz and picks. Not five picks but three. A protected Magic pick, the Chicago pick, and the Denver pick. I’d especially hate to give up WCJ but would do it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmmagicfan 302 Report post Posted June 30, 2022 So, I don't know that we would be interested, but this works on the trade machine sight, and gets us a couple of veterans in their final year, and a 2023 draft pick from Phoenix for helping swing a KD trade. Nets get TRoss and Mikal Bridges, and 2025 (top 3) protected first from Phoenix Suns get Kevin Durant Magic get Jae Crowder, Dario Saric, and a 2023 (top 3) protected first from Phoenix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
