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.

While Daniels still has to improve his shot, the Hawks have been thrilled with his attitude and work ethic.
