NBA Rumors: Dejounte Murray Wants To Play With Hawks Star

Adding some fuel to the fire of a rumored San Antonio Spurs/Atlanta Hawks blockbuster, comes a report that the Spurs' Dejounte Murray has interest in playing with the Hawks' Trae Young.

"I know that Dejounte and Trae want to play together, or at least have interest in doing it. We saw them on Instagram, tweeting emojis about it," said Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer on his Don't Aggregate This podcast.

And both are represented by Klutch Sports' Rich Paul. Hmm.

However, the Spurs do have a very high price tag on Murray, as they should. The 25-year-old had a breakout season, averaging a near triple-double. 

John Collins is the main trade bait the Hawks are dangling in not only talks with the Spurs, but with just about every other team as well.

Fischer said the Hawks "have been calling left and right to try to find a home for (Collins)."

And, in turn, "the Spurs are definitely doing intel on John (Collins), like I know that."

We've previously heard that San Antonio wants a "Jrue Holiday-type return" for Murray—which was three first-rounders. How Collins impacts that potential return is unknown at this time.
