Dejounte Murray Trade Rumors: Potential Return to San Antonio Spurs

Despite interest from Lakers and Heat, Spurs emerge as potential destination for Hawks' guard amid ongoing trade rumors.

Dejounte Murray, currently with the Atlanta Hawks, is rumored to be traded back to the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team deal involving the Brooklyn Nets. The Spurs are reportedly interested in Murray to boost the development of their top pick, Victor Wembanyama.
Murray has reportedly stated that he would welcome a return to the Spurs, where coach Gregg Popovich has been like a 'father figure' to him.
The Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat have also shown interest in Murray, but the Heat are not planning to make an 'aggressive push' for him.
The Atlanta Hawks traded for Murray less than two years ago, giving up three first-round picks and a first-round pick swap to the San Antonio Spurs. However, the team has struggled since then, sparking trade rumors.
Murray's performance remains strong, averaging 20.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game this season. His contract for the next four seasons is considered reasonable at $114.1 million.
