Pelicans not completely ruling out Trey Murphy trade

Story by

Sam Amick: The Pelicans are putting up a good face saying no on trade inquiries for Herb Jones, no on Trey Murphy - well, not completely 'no' on Trey, but they have a pretty high price tag on him. Even Zion Williamson, I can't remember a year where we got so many high-profile stars, players, who you feel might be available for trades, right now, we got Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, all the way down the lion, and Zion, to me, should be at the top of the list. The Pelicans should be really open to listening to move him, and I do think, in the right situation, he could be a difference-maker, there's not much talk on Zion getting traded at this point. It's a little bit quiet, though a possibility, I think. Joe Dumars told teams he wanted to really get a good look at Zion, and I don't know how long that look needs to be before he makes up his mind, but if I got to handicap right now, it probably won't happen before the trade deadline.
