What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Dejounte Murray has been quite impressive today. There are real vibes of the Pelicans landing a genuine leader, both on and off the court.
It feels like the Pelicans have landed a true rudder for a core of Zion, BI, Trey and the rest of the roster — this is huge!! – 12:31 PM

#Pelicans trade addition Dejounte Murray is “all basketball,” fiercely dedicated to making the most of his #NBA career. NBA.com writer @mikecwright, who covered Murray closely in San Antonio, provides more insight on the pro in this Q&A: neworlns.co/4cX6uJ3 pic.twitter.com/Im3UsUKUAN – 10:34 AM

More on this storyline
Will Guillory: Dejounte Murray on Herb Jones: “He’s legit. I want to challenge him. I want him to challenge me, starting in practice. I want to be on First Team All-Defense with him. That’s something I’ve been preaching since the trade happened.” -via Twitter @WillGuillory / July 9, 2024
Oleh Kosel: Dejounte Murray says it wasn’t his intentions to get the #5 jersey from Herb Jones when he reached out to the All-NBA defender. However, Herb told him he had no attachments to the #. Murray told media he’s going to take care of Herb for the gesture of being able to wear #5. -via Twitter @OlehKosel / July 9, 2024
Will Guillory: Dejounte Murray said he’s been in communication with Brandon Ingram this offseason. He said Ingram called him the morning of the trade and asked if he thought the deal was going through. -via Twitter @WillGuillory / July 9, 2024
Lastly, the New Orleans Pelicans are interested in signing Beasley to stretch the floor around Zion Williamson, league sources told HoopsHype. The Pelicans are also eying a trade for a center while clearing some salary off their books. -via HoopsHype / July 6, 2024
Adrian Wojnarowski: New Orleans was 0-24 when trailing entering the fourth and 2-14 in close games and see Murray as a player who can generate offense late in games. Pels remain committed to core that includes Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum. Pels are trying to find common ground with Brandon Ingram -via Twitter @wojespn / June 28, 2024
So, who are the Rockets interested in as franchise centerpiece material? League sources say that Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell (who is 27 and widely expected to sign an extension with the Cavs soon), the Suns’ Devin Booker (also 27) and New Orleans’ Zion Williamson (23) would all fit the bill. -via New York Times / June 28, 2024
