Trade conversations continue to happen after Thursday night’s NBA draft and they include San Antonio Spurs All-Star guard Dejounte Murray.
The Spurs are fielding offers for Murray and have told multiple interested teams it would take a “Jrue Holiday-like package” for San Antonio to part with the 25-year-old floor general, setting a rough benchmark of three first-round picks for any suitor to pry Murray free.
NBA insider Jake Fischer spoke about Murray’s status on the trade market during an episode of his podcast.
“They’ve told multiple teams that I’ve spoken to have called them that the price is a Jrue Holiday-like deal,” Fischer said of the Spurs’ asking price for Murray. “Three first-round picks seems to be the benchmark.”
In five seasons of play in the NBA, Murray has developed into a standout after being the 29th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
During the 2021-22 campaign, he had his best season yet by averaging 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds, and a league-best 2.0 steals per game.
