Trey Murphy III remains a trade candidate for Pelicans this offseason

Summary

New Orleans Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III continues to be discussed in trade talks this offseason, according to The Athletic's John Hollinger. Murphy led the team in scoring last season, averaging 21.5 points per game, but no deals have materialized. The Pelicans have remained relatively quiet, with only minor roster changes. It is reported that they are asking for three first-round picks in return for Murphy, which presents obstacles in finding a suitable trade partner. Trade discussions may heat up again depending on LeBron James' decision regarding his future.
