Interesting story from Pelicans EVP David Griffin today: Rich Paul told him at Klutch pro day that Pelicans should go get Dejounte Murray. Griffin said Pelicans tried to get him at trade deadline but couldn’t make a deal work. Paul told Griffin that Murray was excited about N.O. – 1:42 PM

In his 2021-22 season prior to joining Hawks, Dejounte Murray finished fourth in #NBA in assists (career-high 9.2 per game) with Spurs. No #Pelicans player has finished in the top 10 in assists since Jrue Holiday ranked ninth (7.7 apg) in 2018-19 – 1:18 PM

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

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. – 12:21 PM

More on this storyline
Jim Eichenhofer: Dejounte Murray on Herb Jones: “He’s a dog, a competitor. He loves the game. He takes pride in any matchup he has… I was telling my family, we’re going to be arguing about who gets to guard the best player (on the opposing team).” -via Twitter @Jim_Eichenhofer / July 9, 2024
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
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
