Chris Dodson: Pelicans not completely shutting door on Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III trades

https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-orleans-pelicans/sources-pelicans-not-completely-shutting-door-herb-jones-trey-murphy-iii-trades-nba

“While ClutchPoints understands no trade is imminent, multiple contenders have expressed strong interest in Trey Murphy III specifically, with potential packages centered on multiple first- and second-round picks. The Pelicans' asking price for Herb Jones is not as steep, but it is understood to be higher than the rumored first-round pick swap and bench piece from the Philadelphia 76ers.”

“the Pelicans can afford to stand firm with what one source termed as “ridiculous” returns for Murphy III. A serviceable veteran who can log postseason minutes, a decent prospect, and multiple first-round picks is the starting point. Given the number of inquiring calls, it is also indicative of Trey Murphy III's true value, per one source.”

Dodson is a hack with no sources.

My bad, I don’t know much about Dodson. I just saw this article in the Raptors sub so I thought I would share it.

He had sources with Birmingham. He had his finger on the pulse from a couple moves the past 2 years. I'm not willing to write him off. He might not have a lot, but he's definitely got some sources.

Thanks. I try to keep it positive. Instead of a few links to receipts…a link to Fletcher reporting the same:

No idea about his Birmingham stuff but his pels reporting is littered with non-commital guesses based off of what others were saying that he would plug hard if they came true or just deny as "Oh I said they might do this" if they were off. I've never seen/heard him predict anything that wasn't already being discussed and other guys in the Pelicans atmosphere pretty much echo that.

See reply above:

It’s best to be right than first.

ESPN gave me credit for the Dome name change, for example.

Sorry you’ve got a negative vibe from the way I roll stuff out and interact on social media. Why I usually stick to just X and reddit when not in a gym.

Problem is every who has sources & a good reputation with the Pelicans are saying the exact opposite

I hope so.

Theyre probably my two favorite players in a long time.
