For the last few weeks, there have been a lot of rumors about Dejounte Murray leaving the Atlanta Hawks.
Because of the speculation around him, every move, comment, or social media post he makes is immediately scrutinized.
NBACentral pointed out that Murray posted a picture of retired Miami Heat jerseys on his Instagram Friday morning.
Does this mean that Murray is contemplating coming to the Heat?

Some people will point out that Murray and his Hawks are set to play against the Miami Heat on Friday night and that is why he was posting the picture.
He was simply taking a shot of the arena that he’s going to play in later, they say.
But others believe that Murray is suggesting that he’d be interested in joining the Heat in the future.
Of course, it’s not up to Murray and the Hawks will make the choice that is right for them and their future.
The Heat are just one of many teams that could benefit from the addition of Murray, who is averaging 21 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists this year, shooting 47.1% from the field and 38.3% from the three-point line.
Murray is a very talented young player but he has never completely fit into the rotation of the Hawks.
The combination of Murray and Trae Young didn’t create the results that the front office anticipated, even after they hired new head coach Quin Snyder.
That means the Hawks are willing to say goodbye to Murray but they aren’t going to let him go for just any offer.
They will sit tight and only make a move when they receive a package that really feels right for them and can help them grow and find more success.
The Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly been keeping a close eye on Murray.
Will they have to compete with the Heat to sign him?
