Hawks Trade Dejounte Murray to Pelicans, Signal Major Roster Overhaul

Atlanta acquires future draft picks and key players as GM Landry Fields reshapes the team for upcoming seasons.

The Hawks traded Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans for draft picks and players Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance Jr., and E.J. Liddell.
This move follows the selection of Zaccharie Risacher as the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by Atlanta.
Hawks GM Landry Fields is expected to make further roster changes, with potential trades involving Clint Capela, De’Andre Hunter, or Trae Young.
The Lakers, who were interested in Murray, are now exploring other trade and free agency options, including Jerami Grant and Klay Thompson.
