Newly acquired New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray had a sit down interview with New Orleans media to discuss his desires this future in this article:

Had a very interesting quote:



I'm pretty much convinced Murray could never work next to Luka if that is his mindset.

And yet, that was my initial response to the Kyrie Irving trade... too many ball dominant players can be a bad mix.
No one is too concerned, in fact TODAY we want a 3rd ball handler, with that approach now. I think had we pursued Murray, we might be thrilled at how well his handles take the pressure off of regular season Luka. I also believe that Kidd would have worked it out where Murray would have been happier here with the more flexible offensive roles instead of his role in Atlanta.

Now with his exposure in New Orleans, this might become an issue: He could feel proven as a PG, leading to NEVER having a desire to share PG duties as well as despise the thought to be used as a corner threat again.
