Pistons pursue trade for Trey Murphy III from Pelicans

The Detroit Pistons are exploring a trade to acquire Trey Murphy III from the New Orleans Pelicans. A mock trade suggested the Pistons could send Ron Holland II, Duncan Robinson, and multiple first-round picks to New Orleans for the 26-year-old forward. Murphy, who averaged 21.5 points and started all 66 games he played for the Pelicans last season, is viewed as a potential second scoring option alongside Cade Cunningham. The Pistons finished with a 60-22 record last season but lost in the Eastern Conference second round. Detroit continues to seek ways to enhance its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
