Deal reviews
- Atlanta Hawks
The Eagles clearly had some losses on this deal. Although the replacement of Murray is not compatible with Trae Young, an All-Star caliber player only traded for two first-round picks, a center player with only bench rotation strength, and two rookie players. Both of these picks are recent picks, and both are relatively low picks. Nance Jr. has the strength to rotate and can play small-ball center, and that's it. Two young players, Daniels has a tall guard with some defensive ability, but he has no shooting ability, and the probability of practicing shooting is not very large. Liddell suffered a major injury when he entered the league, and he basically didn't play in the past two years, and it is expected that the game may not be very big.
Compared to the chips that Murray paid for two years ago, the Hawks can only rate C in this deal.
- New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans acquired an All-Star at the least cost. Although there may be some conflicts with CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram, and Zayn Williamson on the Pelicans, it is very profitable to use the "change" in his hand in exchange for Murray, who has a long-term contract and a small contract amount. The Pelicans can be rated A in this trade.

summary
Although the Hawks also acquired a lot of assets in the trade, the quality was not high and the trade value was not maximized. On the contrary, the Pelicans made a lot of money in this trade.
