Pelicans likely to retain Trey Murphy III, affecting Warriors, Celtics, Pistons
Summary

Trey Murphy III's trade status emerges as the New Orleans Pelicans appear set to keep the forward. During a recent livestream, insider Jake Fischer indicated that the Pelicans want to retain Murphy, as potential suitors like the Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, and Detroit Pistons are deterred by the asking price of three first-round picks. Murphy averaged 21 points and showcased his shooting and defensive skills last season. With the trade market not meeting New Orleans' expectations, the team may focus on his development as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 campaign.
