The guard fired off profane, now-deleted social media posts following a 145-111 loss to the Nets, including a suggestion that someone inside the organization was sabotaging him.
Dejounte Murray is not taking criticism quietly. After the Pelicans were blown out 145-111 by the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, Murray took to social media with a since-deleted post responding to someone who shared the team's record with and without him in the lineup. Murray suggested the post amounted to internal sabotage, which only fueled Pelicans fans already frustrated with the team's season.
The pile-on continued Thursday morning when a fan fired back at Murray's sabotage claim by posting unflattering clips of his play. Murray responded with a profane rant, telling critics "you have no f---ing clue what we dealing with."
The posts have since been deleted, but the episode has already raised questions about Murray's standing with the organization. Given the public nature of the dispute and the losing record fueling it, speculation is building that the situation could push New Orleans toward exploring a trade involving Murray sooner rather than later.
