Warriors' Interest in Trey Murphy III Intensifies
The Golden State Warriors have made their interest in New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III clear, as highlighted by general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. during a recent press conference. Reports indicate that the Warriors are prepared to part with multiple first-round picks for Murphy, even in light of star forward Jimmy Butler's season-ending knee injury.
Dunleavy emphasized that any future trades involving draft picks would need to bring back a player who can contribute significantly after Stephen Curry's retirement. At just 25 years old and under a favorable contract for the next three years, Murphy fits this profile perfectly. He has been consistently linked to the Warriors since the offseason.
While the Warriors may also consider other options like Lauri Markkanen, Murphy remains the primary target due to his potential impact and affordability. However, the Pelicans appear reluctant to part with their rising star, making a trade before the deadline seem uncertain.
