Warriors could target Trey Murphy with new Pelicans trade scenario

Summary

The Golden State Warriors are exploring potential trades as the NBA offseason progresses. The Pelicans are maneuvering to acquire Bennedict Mathurin from the Clippers, a situation that could lead to the trade of Trey Murphy III. Previously, the Pelicans sought a substantial return for Murphy, including multiple first-round picks. With their roster crowding at the position Murphy plays, his availability may increase, especially if the Pelicans decide to make moves to strengthen their playoff chances. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. indicated the team's readiness to pursue opportunities to enhance their roster midseason.
