Pels already have D. Murray at PG, though. They paying him $30M plus for the next 3 years.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Dejounte Murray tore his achilles in January (against the Celtics).

He could easily be out for most of the 2025-26 season and given his reliance on speed, he may never be the same player when he returns.

Aw man. I did not realize it was his achilles. Poor lad.

That is a major blow for NOP heading into next season. I guess we will see more of point-forward Zion Williamson. D Murray was their only real creative passing threat.
