Boston Celtics eye Trey Murphy III after Jaylen Brown trade

Following the trade of Jaylen Brown, the Boston Celtics are looking to acquire Trey Murphy III from the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans reportedly reduced their asking price from four first-round picks to three, making a trade more feasible for Boston. With Jayson Tatum as their primary star, the Celtics aim to build a younger roster around him, as supporting players Paul George and Derrick White age. A potential trade may involve sending Derrick White and draft picks to New Orleans in exchange for Murphy, who averaged 21.5 points last season. The Celtics could enhance their scoring while restructuring their team towards the future.
