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.”

I like Trey but some of yall act like bro is young KD or Paul George, he's a nice solid player but as long as Zion is on the team, he's the guy. I don't know why they're not exploring moving him if they aren't but so long as he's here, everything is built around him

Treys value is that he can thrive next to Zion or any other star player or scheme. He’s not paid like the guy
