Warriors Show Strong Interest in Trey Murphy, Pelicans Resist Trade Talks

The Golden State Warriors have reportedly expressed a strong interest in acquiring New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy, making outreach as recently as this summer. However, the Pelicans have firmly rejected these trade inquiries, signaling their high valuation of the 25-year-old two-way forward. Murphy, who is set to play on a $25 million contract in 2025-26, averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.5 assists last season, making him an appealing target for his defensive prowess and 38% career three-point shooting.
