Pelicans Tried To Keep Dyson Daniels Out Of Trade With Hawks For Dejounte MurrayPelicans Tried To Keep Dyson Daniels Out Of Trade With Hawks For Dejounte Murray
The New Orleans Pelicans tried to avoid including Dyson Daniels in their trade offer to the Atlanta Hawks for Dejounte Murray, sources tell ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. The Hawks wanted to acquire a player for Murray that would help them protect Trae Young on defense. While the Pelicans wanted to keep Daniels, they considered him expendable due to the presence of Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III on the wings.
Daniels has six games of at least three steals this season and leads the NBA in deflections per game with 7.6.
“He’s always been good defensively,” one scout told ESPN of Daniels, “but offensively he is playing free and is not as scared to make mistakes. Sometimes the change of scenery can really help guys. It also helps when your coach lets you play through your mistakes.”
While Daniels still has to improve his shot, the Hawks have been thrilled with his attitude and work ethic.

LeBron James Could Retire After Next SeasonLeBron James Could Retire After Next Season
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was recently asked how much longer he’d continue to play. Without giving any sort of timeline, James did say he wouldn’t continue to play “until the wheels fall off”.
Shams Charania of ESPN believes that the NBA’s all-time leading scorer could retire after next season. James has a $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season, as a part of the deal he signed this past offseason. The veteran forward has kept his contracts as flexible as possible on his last few deals, opting to have continuous control with short-term deals featuring player options.
Charania also speculated that James could have reasons to play beyond next season. There’s All-Star Weekend to be held in Los Angeles in 2027. In addition, James could be motivated to also play in the NBA with his young son Bryce, who is eligible to join the NBA as soon as the 2026-27 season.
