Murray talks about being traded by the Spurs and doesn’t want to waste time making the playoffs
Recently, Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray talked about being traded by the San Antonio Spurs during the offseason in an exclusive interview with Spears. Murray said Popovich didn’t want me to waste too much time missing the playoffs.
Murray mentioned in an interview: “To be honest, I don’t want to leave the Spurs. I hope to spend my entire career here. But in the past I have heard a lot of trade rumors that are too much for me. Popovich also knows some things, which teams are interested in me, what kind of bargaining chips the Spurs hope to get through the trade, etc. But Popovich doesn’t pay too much attention to these, he just asks if I want to go more Playing on a big stage, he consulted me about one thing, he said that he didn’t want me to waste my talents here, he hoped that I could appear more on the stage of the playoffs, and then the transaction happened.”
During the offseason of last season, the Spurs sent All-Star Dejounte Murray in exchange for three first-round picks, a first-round pick with swap rights, and Gallinari. Murray was selected as an All-Star for the first time last season, and his personal performance was also very good. He averaged 34.6 minutes per game in the regular season and contributed 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game. Of course, it is still unknown whether the reason why the Spurs sent Murray away is as mentioned above, but the Spurs completely announced the reconstruction, and the Eagles also got an All-Star guard. Both teams have achieved their goals.
