Green is one of the greatest players of all time, so being a mentor (or friend) is likely a huge positive for Murray's career.

Last season, Murray averaged 22.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 45.9% from the field and 36.3% from the three-point range in 78 games for the Atlanta Hawks.

He has a chance to make the Pelicans one of the best teams in the NBA, as they already have Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram.

We have acquired Dyson Daniels, E.J. Liddell, Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller, and 2 future First Round draft picks in exchange for Dejounte Murray.
