The Boston Celtics are reportedly considering a trade involving Paul George to acquire wing Trey Murphy III from the New Orleans Pelicans. Following their recent trade of Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers, Boston may not be finished reshaping its roster. George, acquired in the Brown deal, is suggested as part of a potential swap that could also involve additional draft picks and possibly players like Dejounte Murray or Jordan Poole. Analysts speculate the trade could hinge on what compensation the Pelicans would require to take on George's contract while also valuing Murphy's contributions.
