Boston Celtics eye Trey Murphy as potential trade target from Pelicans

As discussions continue around Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's future, Bill Simmons of The Ringer has suggested that New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy could be a viable trade target for Boston. Simmons expressed doubt about the Celtics pursuing high-cap players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, indicating that a potential trade involving Brown would likely not focus on another max contract player. Murphy, who fits into a $27.7 million traded player exception, may be attractive for Boston as they pursue roster flexibility after a disappointing season from New Orleans. Further developments are expected as the offseason approaches.
