This comes after the Warriors shifted focus to Murphy following unsuccessful pursuits of Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James.

The Pelicans have received multiple offers for Murphy but have not accepted any that meet their asking price. Discussions around Murphy could intensify with the Warriors' ongoing contract negotiations with Stephen Curry.
