[Clark] "The Pelicans made a push for Dejounte Murray before the trade deadline. They land him now. Lead guard with size who can take some of the creation load off of Zion. New Orleans liked his contract a lot. Owed $25 M, $27 M, $29 M next 3 years."

You can say what you want about his limitations as a player but you can’t deny Murray has a great contract. A top 15 pg for less than 20% of the cap. If he’s your 3rd best player and meshes well with the other 4 starters then you’re cooking
