What are Hawks fans saying about the Dejounte Murray contract?
Holy Cow! What an overpay for Dejounte Murray. Hawks will regret this contract.
Good on him for getting paid but I don’t see him living out this full contract in a Atlanta Hawks jersey.
Murray should have waited till free agency and would have been paid even more.
