Warriors Trade Rumors: Dejounte Murray and Draymond Green’s Agent Rich Paul Sighted With Dubs’ GM

The Golden State Warriors face the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. While Stephen Curry & co prepared for the highly-anticipated matchup, an unusual sight before the game caught the NBA World’s attention. During the pre-game warmup, agent Rich Paul was sighted with Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr.

The meeting stirred new trade rumors as Rich Paul is the agent of Draymond Green and Atlanta Hawks star Dejounte Murray. There have been constant rumors about the Warriors being interested in acquiring Murray since he entered the trade market. And the surprising on-court meeting between Murray’s agent and the Warriors GM could be further evidence of the potential trade.

Stephen Curry and Co. are having an abysmal season so far. And they need a star like Dejounte Murray to turn their season around.

With the way the Warriors have played this season, every player is under threat of getting traded except Stephen Curry. The Baby-Faced Assassin has played at an All-Star level all season and is the pillar of the Warriors franchise. The same cannot be said for his co-stars, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

Klay has been unable to stay consistent this season. He shows glimpses of greatness in some games and fails miserably in others. Klay is also in the final year of his 5-year $190 million contract, and the Warriors might part ways with him if they fail to reach an agreement.

Draymond, on the other hand, has not been available for the majority of the season due to his multiple suspensions. The Warriors might make an offer to the Hawks that could include either of these superstars, along with the young players on the squad, to add Dejounte Murray to their roster.

Dejounte Murray continues to prove his worth in Atlanta

While Rich Paul was busy in a conversation with the Warriors GM, his client Dejounte Murray continued to up his trade value in Atlanta. Murray led the Hawks to a dominant 138-122 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. He finished the game with 24 points, 9 assists, and 4 rebounds and played great alongside Trae Young. Even though the Hawks have one of the worst records in the Eastern Conference, Murray has played great all season. He is averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 5 rebounds.

Murray could solve the Warriors’ problems by becoming the second superstar alongside Stephen Curry. Not only will he take the scoring load off Steph’s shoulders, but his presence on the court will also create easy shots for his teammates. What do you think the meeting between Rich Paul and Mike Dunleavy Jr. just 9 days before the trade deadline means?
