BREAKING: Another Aussie on the move as blockbuster NBA trade signals big shake-up

Guard Dyson Daniels is on his way to Atlanta as part of a blockbuster trade that sends Dejounte Murray to New Orleans , with the Hawks also acquiring Larry Nance Jr. and two first-round picks as part of the deal.The Hawks were widely expected to shake up their backcourt this summer, although it wasn’t entirely clear whether that would involve trading Murray or Trae Young.

That led Atlanta to go after Murray in the hope an extra scoring and playmaking threat in the backcourt would help ease the pressure on Young as its go-to guy and improve its defence.The move failed to pay off though, with Murray and Young never really gelling as a combination while the Hawks failed to take any meaningful steps forward, most recently finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference before being eliminated in the play-in tournament.

As for the Pelicans, this move further pushes them into contention in the Western Conference after showing signs of improvement before a Zion Williamson injury derailed their season.
