With a deadline approaching, rumors abound regarding possible moves. A young Spurs star could also pay the price: Dejounte Murray. Something to shock the fans, while the leader is still excellent on this campaign.
In big trouble this season, the Spurs point to a record of 17-29. It’s not exactly dreamy for the Texas franchise, which is far from being able to compete with the best teams in the Western Conference. A new dynamic has begun, and still with Gregg Popovich as coach.
As you’d imagine, that’s no joy for the Pop, who would arguably prefer to lead a team capable of contending for the title. Nevertheless, not everything is to be thrown away in San Antonio this season: we are thinking here of Dejounte Murray, who confirms that he has a lot of talent every night.
Dejounte Murray towards a surprising trade?
The point guard is not the best known in the league and yet he deserves respect. With 19.3 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.9 assists on average, the product of Washington performs on this exercise, and has a good margin of progress at 25 years old. But does his future lie at Spurs? Brian Windhorst is unsure of this.

There are some rumors in the league that Spurs are ready to trade him. Maybe not this season, but next summer.
News that may come as a surprise given the explosion on the court of the player, who is also under contract until 2024. San Antonio is betting on young people today, but if Murray is available, then the interest will be very big among the teams.
Towards a Dejounte Murray trade? It would be very surprising, but not necessarily impossible. However, and given the level of the leader, it will be necessary to be generous on the counterpart.
