Trae Young On Pairing With Dejounte Murray Sucks That It Didnt Work

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young was a recent guest on Podcast P with Paul George. Young touched on a lot of subjects, including the failed partnership with Dejounte Murray in the Hawks backcourt.

“It’s tough cause we wanted to win,” Young said. “We’re not the first duo that couldn’t work and we’re not going to be the last.”

Young explained that Murray is a lifelong friend, but things just didn’t work out on the court. The Hawks guard said that both he and Murray realized that they didn’t win enough to keep Atlanta from making a move.

The Hawks traded Murray to the New Orleans Pelicans for a package of players that included Dyson Daniels and Larry Nance Jr. Both Daniels and Nance are expected to fill rotation roles for Atlanta this season.
