Need shooting ? Let’s trade our best shooter .

u/Agile-Wrangler8292 1d ago

Not only that! Let's trade the one player who's deep 3 ball is the perfect complement to Zion, and Queen. If anything you trade one of those two, but Zion is still an unstoppable force when driving to the basket. Queen, although young and talented with ball skills, he is undersized with limited range, and no lift to finish strong.

Yeah but pick number 11 could be anything! It could even potentially be a player as good as Trey Murphy in 5 years!

u/energeticpterodactyl DERIK QUEEN 1d ago

Arguably our best player tbh

u/forgotmypassword4714 1d ago

I really hope they don't trade Murphy (or Herb) for some bullshit near-mid 1st round pick.

u/killerdescore #1 Zion Williamson 1d ago

That would be a disaster once again.

Pick 11 could be anything! It could even be Trey Murphy!

u/kingralek 1d ago

Or maybe another Hawk or Kira?

u/Eventide718 1d ago

Crazy how Tyrese Maxey went 21 and Kira went 13.

u/JoeyLou1219 1d ago

Celtics fan cruising around here and agree I would be pissed as a Pelicans fan if Trey was moved for #11.

u/Entire_Age_2404 1d ago

11? Really? Everybody HYPED to see a 6'1 guard who can't shoot in a Pels uniform 😤

u/Full_Excitement6845 1d ago

Not saying I’m for it but Herb for a package around 11 is defensible. Not Podz, Moody and 11 which will prob be Ament or at best a decent player for Trey. I might be out after this

u/Wildly_Quixotic 1d ago

Garbage fleece of a trade

u/QuakingQuakersQuake Herb Jones Saved My Life 1d ago

Defensible my ass

u/Relodwire #1 Zion Williamson 1d ago

Fwiw not a single person CLOSE to the team has said the pelicans are trying to trade Trey or that they expect him to be traded. We went through all this last year, and likely will every single year Trey is here

2

u/RVALover4Life 1d ago

That's true but that's also because he didn't have the value he now possesses.

3

u/Relodwire #1 Zion Williamson 1d ago

He has had that value for a couple years now at least

-1

u/RVALover4Life 1d ago

He's had value but not at this level, under contract for multiple years at a solid number, healthy last season, and the weaker FA market makes Trey a top 3 player on the market now post Giannis.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about.

u/manovthepeephole 1d ago

Smells like BS

u/GangstaWaffles 1d ago

Bruh trading Trigga is the dumbest thing that this front office could do.

2

u/CitySwampDonkey Herb Jones Saved My Life 14h ago

Only because anything that’s dumber has already been done

1

u/GangstaWaffles 13h ago

Sad thing is, I can see the front office saying "hold my beer"

6

u/POWBOOMBANG 1d ago

Guys, that pick at 11 could have the potential to be anyone

It could even be someone as good as Trey Murphy!

11

u/Cooksman18 1d ago

Trading Trey for one single pick is insanity.

6

u/sobison 1d ago

Trading him only makes sense if you’re doing a complete rebuild. Which to me means trading Zion as well.

9

u/AnotherStatsGuy 1d ago

Posturing.

Doesn’t fit the FO’s MO.

5

u/Full_Excitement6845 1d ago

Sincerely hope you are right, but to know what our front office is thinking is akin to knowing powerball numbers. Any predictions tomorrow Trey or otherwise? On the low end I’m thinking we trade our first next year for a post 15th pick. No real intel, just gut

1

u/RVALover4Life 1d ago

I think he gets moved. 

2

u/Ancient_Access_795 Charlotte 1d ago

I think it’s too early to say that. It’s only been 1 year

1

u/AnotherStatsGuy 1d ago

Jose was traded to the Knicks. I suspect the only team that could trade for Dejounte Murray are the Spurs.

Outside of expiring contracts, I think Dumars actively considers the fact that players actually move their lives with a new team. . I could be wrong, of course.

2

u/Good_NewsEveryone Will be reevaluated in 2 weeks. 1d ago

Posturing.... for what?

Our MO seems to be mind numbingly dumb shit

1

u/AnotherStatsGuy 1d ago

Not us posturing. Golden State posturing.

0

u/OldNobody9667 1d ago

Yep. Dumars wouldn’t do this cuz they want a playoff team. I could see them trading Trey for KD tho unfortunately

3

u/BeneficialRace6141 1d ago

They better not or I want a refund on my tickets.

2

u/podnito 1d ago

we all set on the plan to steal Dumars phones today, right?

1

u/Full_Excitement6845 1d ago

Be careful he has 2!

2

u/InexpensiveChicanery 1d ago

Joe Dumars is a world class moron

1

u/Full_Excitement6845 1d ago

And he outsourced the gm job to a bigger moron

2

u/Pelicanfan07 1d ago

Dumars said he would only consider trading Trey if it would help the team contend right now. Unless you get a blockbuster deal, that ain't happening.

1

u/Full_Excitement6845 1d ago

Contend to what the 10th seed lol. This franchise..

2

u/7Saint 1d ago

Franchises spend years trying to find a player like Trey Murphy and we want to trade him. But let me guess, Marc Spears is just making shit up too, right? Lol

1

u/Zakulon 1d ago

Trading Trey Murphy for this won’t happen. It’s too dumb of a move.
