The Golden State Warriors are reportedly looking to acquire Trey Murphy III from the New Orleans Pelicans in a trade that involves Kristaps Porzingis. This comes as the Warriors seek to bolster their roster amid their interest in LeBron James. NBA reporter Evan Sidery suggests a proposed trade framework that would involve Porzingis, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and future draft capital. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics are also pursuing Murphy following their recent trade of Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Celtics' plan to use their acquired draft picks increases competition for Murphy between both teams.
