With Dejounte Murray going to Atlanta, Hawks a much better team than the one that lost in first round to Heat. East continues to grow stronger. – 5:21 PM

Trae Young and Dejounte Murray will be weird but fascinating and fun. – 5:19 PM

With free agency arriving – Knicks could be onto the next with assets to be in the mix for Dejounte Murray
The Knicks have 11 first-round picks over the next seven drafts and have cleared $30 million in cap space. newsday.com/sports/basketb… – 4:42 PM

The Hawks have until 5 p.m. to have a resolution on Danilo Gallinari’s contract guarantee.
If he’s on the roster past 5, it’s fully guaranteed at $21.45M.
OR
Gallinari and the Hawks can agree to push back the guarantee date. That could mean more guaranteed money for Gallo. – 3:37 PM

Mike Finger @mikefinger
One way to convince skeptical Spurs fans about the wisdom of a Dejounte Murray trade would be to negotiate the terms with the New York Knicks. – 3:36 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper
Brunson is already a fait accompli — and can confirm Knicks interest in Dejounte Murray — as reported by @Marc Stein last week and @Ian Begley today. Who wouldn’t be interested? Some execs think it’s a smoke screen. Murray has two years at $16m per left on his current deal. – 3:21 PM

The decision on Danilo Gallinari’s guarantee is tomorrow for the Hawks, but player/team can agree to push it back. Danilo has $5 mil guaranteed – the Hawks may need to guarantee more to match in trade (say it was Dejounte Murray, Gallo would need $11.6m* locked in) *ATL under tax – 4:04 PM
