Honestly, they should just cut him. Who would willingly trade for this guy, even if you’re getting picks out of it??? This guy is a trash human being for what he did.

Dejounte Murray is finalizing a four-year, $112 million contract extension with the Atlanta Hawks that can increase to $120 million with bonuses, his agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on Thursday.

Murray spent five seasons with the Spurs and was named to the NBA’s All-Defensive second team in 2018.

[BleacherReport] Tyler Herro's Twitter Bio Removes 'Miami Heat' amid Damian Lillard Trade Rumors

[BleacherReport] Tyler Herro's Twitter Bio Removes 'Miami Heat' amid Damian Lillard Trade Rumors - Lemmy.world

Seemingly tired of being involved in trade rumors for Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard, Tyler Herro made sure to send a message to the Miami Heat on Twitter on Sunday. The former Sixth Man of the Year removed “Miami Heat Guard” from his bio on the site, making clear his frustrations with the franchise that he’s spent his entire four-year career with. After Lillard officially made his trade request Saturday—stating his preference to join the Heat—Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported that Miami was preparing to send a package that centered around Herro and Duncan Robinson as well as draft compensation. It’s tough spot for Herro and the Heat as any deal for Lillard would have to include the 23-year-old to make the math work as he’s about to enter the first season of his four-year, $130 million extension. However, it may not be such a straight forward deal as Portland is looking for a third team to reroute Herro to as it doesn’t seem to keen on adding him to the mix alongside Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, per Haynes.

[ESPN] Hornets' Miles Bridges signs qualifying offer for next season - $7.9 million

[ESPN] Hornets' Miles Bridges signs qualifying offer for next season, $7.9 million - Lemmy.world

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges has signed a $7.9 million qualifying offer for the 2023-2024 season, clearing the way for him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, his agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, told ESPN on Sunday. With talks stalled on a new deal, Bridges’ decision to end negotiations and stop pursuing an offer sheet or sign-and-trade deals as a restricted free agent set up the possibility that the Hornets could lose a 20 points per game scorer without compensation next year. After signing the qualifying offer, Bridges, 25, has veto power over any trade this season. Bridges negotiations were complicated by a felony domestic violence arrest and a plea of no contest that led him to miss the entire 2022-2023 season. Bridges has a 10-game NBA suspension awaiting him to start Charlotte’s season. Before his arrest a year ago centering on a domestic violence case against the mother of his two children, Bridges had been a restricted free agent on the cusp of a $100 million-plus deal. The NBA’s suspension, handed down in April, was for 30 games but the league decided that 20 of those had already been served in his lost season. Bridges was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend in front of their two children in May 2022 and he was arrested a month later. He pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge in November. As part of a deal with prosecutors, he was sentenced to three years’ probation. The no-contest plea meant Bridges was accepting the conviction and punishment without formally admitting guilt.
