Dejounte Murray has long been available for trade. Beginning with the 2023 offseason, Murray’s name constantly cropped up as part of a potential package for Pascal Siakam, who was then with the Toronto Raptors. When Siakam was traded to the Indiana Pacers, several other contenders were linked to the 27-year-old. A trade with the Los Angeles Lakers was once thought to be imminent. On the eve of the trade deadline, the New Orleans Pelicans even emerged as a dark horse suitor.
Parsons will be due a sizable contract extension when the time comes and it will likely result in him becoming the highest-paid defensive player in history. Other contracts can be taken care of first (Dak and Lamb), but Micah knows his is coming, and he has made it clear that despite the change this offseason, he wants to remain a Cowboy for life.
Nonetheless, there has also been a line of thought that the Hawks were somewhat resistant to trading Murray.
