The Dejounte Murray and Trae Young experiment is over. Can the Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson experiment be more successful? The Atlanta Hawks trade Murray to the New Orleans Pelicans. Pelicans receive Murray in exchange for Larry Nance Jr., Dyson Daniels, Lakers unprotected 2025 first-round pick, and worse of Bucks/Pelicans 2027 first-round picks.

A lot of questions arise from this trade. Hawks fans are split on the deal, but it may be the best offer. Hawks are expected to build around Young. The Pelicans become stronger with Murray and CJ McCollum in the backcourt. Ingram may be traded to further strengthen the team.
