The Boston Celtics have long held interest in New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III, according to a report. Following Giannis Antetokounmpo's recent trade to the Miami Heat, the Celtics could pursue a trade involving Murphy, who has reportedly been placed on the trade block. Murphy, coming off a career-best season, averaged 21.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.8 assists last season. The Celtics may also consider reconciling with Jaylen Brown, although that outcome appears unlikely at this point.
