The Atlanta Hawks made a massive trade with the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. After weeks of rumors and reports, the two organizations agreed to a deal that sends Dejounte Murray to Atlanta. This team suddenly has an elite backcourt and Trae Young is clearly excited about it.

After the deal was finalized, Young took to Twitter to share his enthusiasm. This is an exciting time for the Hawks, as the front office reels in a talented guard to play alongside Trae Young. Between him and Dejounte Murray, Atlanta's backcourt is primed to be one of the best in the league after this monster trade.

It'll be interesting to see what the final roster looks like for the upcoming season. The Hawks are still rumored to be shopping John Collins and we still have free agency to look forward to as well. If the front office plays its cards right, Atlanta could drastically increase their production for years to come. We've seen Trae Young go bonkers in the postseason before, but having a teammate like Dejounte Murray is massive for this franchise's potential.

Hawks fans should be just as ecstatic as Young is right now. Murray brings a unique style of play to the court that should compliment Trae Young nicely. Both of them can score at will and distribute the ball efficiently. On top of that, Dejounte Murray is solid on defense, which helps Atlanta improve their perimeter defense as well. Look for these two to make some noise in the upcoming season.
