Dejounte Murray to Lakers gaining no traction?
League sources say that there has been little-to-no trade dialogue in recent days between the Hawks and the Lakers when it comes to former All-Star Dejounte Murray. Trade talks tend to be fluid this time of year and can be easily sparked up again, but one source briefed on the talks termed the idea of Murray landing with the Lakers before the deadline, as of this Sunday, as “unrealistic.”

The Lakers’ pursuit of Dejounte Murray has been dialed back some due to D’Angelo Russell’s recent play, league sources told @TheSteinLine.

The Lakers view Malcolm Brogdon, Tyus Jones and Spencer Dinwiddie as lateral moves or downgrades compared to D’Angelo Russell, per @jovanbuha (theathletic.com/5226324/2024/0…).
Dejounte Murray is the only available point guard who Los Angeles would trade Russell for. pic.twitter.com/Dc2NQFnJar – 3:35 PM

The Lakers have already tried to trade Russell for Murray. The two sides were close on a potential deal about two weeks ago, as I reported last week. Talks stalled, but are expected to resume ahead of the deadline. Murray remains the Lakers’ top priority on the trade market, according to multiple team and league sources not authorized to speak publicly. The Lakers believe Murray would provide similar offensive production to Russell, with obvious downgrades in 3-point shooting volume and playmaking. But Murray is the superior defender, athlete and penetrator, all qualities the Lakers need more of in their rotation. -via The Athletic / January 26, 2024
Dejounte Murray and Bruce Brown are the Lakers’ top two trade targets at this moment, according to team and league sources. -via The Athletic / January 26, 2024
