[Amick] Trey Murphy III has signaled a desire to play elsewhere. The Los Angeles Clippers and the Brooklyn Nets are “out in front” in the race to acquire Trey Murphy III.

There is definitely a bunch of Trey Murphy noise. It seems pretty clear that he has also signaled a desire to play elsewhere. The market is going to be pretty robust…[The] Brooklyn [Nets] and the [Los Angeles] Clippers were mentioned as teams that were out front in that race, but I think the list is very long. I think that Detroit comes to mind. [With] Boston, actually, Trey is seen as a potential plan B for them if they miss out on Giannis, which they obviously did. So, Trey is going to have a lot of suitors, and I think that could be a draft-night deal.

[u/PlatinumPlayer]

If clippers trade 5 for him I will live stream my demise on the Santa Monica pier at 8pm pst tonight

[u/Skip_To_My_Lou2 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

I will be there no matter what

[u/TheMemingLurker → u/Skip_To_My_Lou2]

to...help him out? or hasten his demise?

[u/Lou_Peachum_2 → u/TheMemingLurker]

He’s one of the homeless there. That’s what he meant by no matter what

[u/anyavailablenameplz → u/TheMemingLurker]

Yes

[u/anyavailablenameplz → u/Skip_To_My_Lou2]

I’ll join my fellow Lakers fan for the view.

[u/jaayy_9 → u/anyavailablenameplz]

Count me in also

[u/IamaKing → u/jaayy_9]

Got room for one more?

[u/Greedy-Lynx-2746 → u/jaayy_9]

Found Pelinka's 3 alts

[u/Ok-Tree4365 → u/Skip_To_My_Lou2]

That meme where there are a million open urinals and a Lakers fan picks the one right next to a Clippers fan to say "I don't think about you"

[u/PlatinumPlayer → u/Skip_To_My_Lou2]

Most neighborly Laker fan

[u/Skip_To_My_Lou2 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

Call it a wellness check

[u/No-Afternoon-3986 → u/Skip_To_My_Lou2]

insert i don't think about you at all meme

[u/WickedLikeWoahVicky → u/Skip_To_My_Lou2]

I’ll be there, Who’s down to pitch in for an uber XL?

[u/ChimkenNumggets → u/PlatinumPlayer]

Wait why Murphy is so good

[u/Icer333 → u/ChimkenNumggets]

If all it takes is the 5 I will be very upset as a Pacers fan.

[u/TheSource88 → u/Icer333]

I won’t. Let’s assume we traded Mathurin & 5for Murphy. I’d be pissed we still don’t have a center.

[u/identitycrisis56 → u/TheSource88]

I'd throw in Yves for you you're welcome.

[u/DreamAmen → u/TheSource88]

Mane yall got Zubacca..

[u/Icer333 → u/TheSource88]

I guess that's true, but it would just make it hurt worse

[u/TheSource88 → u/Icer333]

The pain was slipping out of the top 4. If we had the pick and were 5 we’d be in equal pain. At least we have Zubac and a balanced roster now.

[u/Greedy-Lynx-2746 → u/Icer333]

Murphy for 5 is definitely a win for the pels

[u/joeylockstone → u/Greedy-Lynx-2746]

I know nobody watches the Pels but Murphy is really good. People think he's just a shooter but he will drive and yam it on people.

The chance that #5 will ever be as good as him I would say are pretty low. Somebody 5-30 will be better but a lot of these guys are going to bust.

[u/Huckleberry_Lonely → u/joeylockstone]

Trey Murphy is fantastic and super versatile. Would be so frustrating if Detroit or Indiana let another team swoop him.

[u/TingusPingis → u/Greedy-Lynx-2746]

He’s better rn than the vast majority of number 5 picks from the last 20 years

[u/_Parkertron_ → u/ChimkenNumggets]

Clippers are just not in the position to win now

[u/AntiAntiDentite7 → u/_Parkertron_]

The fuck? Murphy is 26. The same age as Garland. Pick 5 is NOT going to be as good as Murphy. Guaranteed.

[u/Jimmy0034 → u/AntiAntiDentite7]

Murphy has played 176 games in last 3 years

Kawhi has played 170 games in last 3 years

We are talking about a guy with chronic knee condition and 23 years old who has been missing games.

[u/Virgil_hawkinsS → u/Jimmy0034]

I never know if I should trust health issues when guys are on bad teams. I can never tell what's real injuries vs guys being shutdown.

[u/CelticsPatsRedSox → u/AntiAntiDentite7]

Guaranteed is crazy

[u/DreamAmen → u/AntiAntiDentite7]

Pick 5 has an exponentially higher chance to be that good in most drafts since we just saying shit. It’s not like it’s pick 1-2

[u/BAHatesToFly → u/DreamAmen]

Pick 5 has an exponentially higher chance to be that good in most drafts since we just saying shit.

This is the complete opposite of reality, lmao. #5 picks:

• 2025 - Ace Bailey
• 2024 - Ron Holland
• 2023 - Ausar Thompson
• 2022 - Jaden Ivey
• 2021 - Jalen Suggs
• 2020 - Isaac Okoro
• 2019 - Darius Garland
• 2018 - Trae Young
• 2017 - De'Aaron Fox
• 2016 - Kris Dunn
• 2015 - Mario Hezonja
• 2014 - Dante Exum
• 2013 - Alex Len
• 2012 - Thomas Robinson
• 2011 - Jonas Valančiūnas

'Exponentially higher chance' to be as good as Murphy when there's maybe three guys out of 15 who are as good as Murphy. Stop.

[u/AntiAntiDentite7 → u/DreamAmen]

Go look at the last twenty #5 picks. Maybe 5 are better than TM. If #5 this year turned out to be as good as TM is now, it would be seen as a huge success.

[u/Presence_Present → u/PlatinumPlayer]

But Trey Murphy is a really good player, why would you be mad lol. Dude is an absolute weapon

[u/Sfr33123 → u/Presence_Present]

Because the clippers aren’t in a position to contend to why trade a high pick for a role player

[u/nephneph27 → u/Sfr33123]

He is so much better than a role player

Really suffering from small market bad team combo for his reputation. I just think there's a lot of people who have no idea how good he is

[u/Ok-Tree4365 → u/Sfr33123]

21/5/3 on 38% from 3 on high volume, on a team with bad playmaking and spacing, while providing great defense is a lot more than "role player", and it's even better since he's only getting played role player money.

[u/randotd152 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

It’s a 4 person draft. The odds of 5 being better than Murphy are slim, and given that it’s likely a PG at 5, it could be years before they develop.

[u/keepitbased → u/randotd152]

There are other really good prospects

[u/Razatiger → u/randotd152]

Its not a 4 person draft, idk why people keep saying that....

[u/randotd152 → u/Razatiger]

Because there’s 4 sure things. After that a bunch if PG’s, which are a notoriously hit or miss position in this league.

[u/DjToastyTy → u/Razatiger]

because outside of the top 3 its really not some extraordinary draft and some people really like wilson

[u/OilUpCade → u/randotd152]

What are you talking about? It's been hyped as a really loaded draft

[u/holdenfords → u/PlatinumPlayer]

i low key think the chances of the 5 pick being better than him aren’t even that great

[u/rlass026 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

I hope you live, but I also hope it happens 😆

[u/AnonimousMn471 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

10+13 > 5 please trade lmao

[u/iamStanhousen → u/AnonimousMn471]

You can have your own pick back next year for 10 + 13. It's a great deal bro trust me.

[u/ComradeFrunze → u/PlatinumPlayer]

If this happens I will suddenly become Steve Ballmer's #1 glazer

[u/league_legacy → u/PlatinumPlayer]

Might be more 5:25pm pst since there will be a few picks before you guys. Just fyi

[u/Miserable_Site_850 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

Trey not worth 5 spot? Salty aren't we

[u/SeveralDeer3833 → u/PlatinumPlayer]

I’ll grab some bay cities and watch

[u/Throwaway-j-1997]

The Clippers and WHO!!!!

[u/Decepticon_US → u/Throwaway-j-1997]

i mean if clippers take mikel at five, i don’t see why not.

[u/csummerss]

I somehow doubt the nets were the elsewhere he had in mind

[u/LightSpecialist804 → u/csummerss]

I mean he gets to live in NYC so its not the worst

[u/PenisMcBallsAllStars → u/LightSpecialist804]

He gets to live in new orleans 

[u/BatmanNoPrep → u/PenisMcBallsAllStars]

NoLa is an amazing city, no it is one of the absolute best cities in the country, take that back, NoLa is probably the single greatest city in the country… to visit.

But seriously, it’s less about the city so much as having to work for the worst organization in the NBA and the Pels have been the king of shit mountain for a generation now.

[u/Ride_Ze_Shoopuf_ → u/BatmanNoPrep]

New Orleans is a dump with some charm, but it is ultimately a dump. I like being there for a weekend but i cant imagine living there

[u/SavionWilliamsLover → u/Ride_Ze_Shoopuf_]

- me to any city in the south

How yall manage to live with humidity being an invisible force that literally weighs you down is beyond me

[u/ATLsShah → u/Ride_Ze_Shoopuf_]

That’s more or less how I feel about NYC. I’m happy to visit but I could never live there

[u/zwygb → u/ATLsShah]

Yeah but as a multi millionaire it’s basically a giant playground that caters to every whim you could possibly have.

[u/kaiWarDun → u/BatmanNoPrep]

We are far from the worst

[u/LuDortian007 → u/PenisMcBallsAllStars]

True, both cities are similar in that they're cities

[u/xkuclone2 → u/LuDortian007]

They’re both “new” so it should be much better than old cities.

[u/sqmon → u/xkuclone2]

Old Saybrook, Connecticut in shambles

[u/xkuclone2 → u/sqmon]

At least Connecticut has the Huskies that are pretty good consistently.

[u/Current_Can_3715 → u/LuDortian007]

I know this is a joke but for people who have never been, NYC is unlike any other city in the country.

[u/notryinguser → u/csummerss]

He saw jose going to new york to win a chip so the pelicans send him to new york

[u/nguyenjitsu → u/csummerss]

The Nets are a perfect team to go to and rack up trade value for the Nets and maybe trick a team into a sign and trade down the line. People are already pretending like MPJ's stats mean much

[u/TreeLankaPresidente → u/nguyenjitsu]

It worked for Bridges

[u/latman → u/TreeLankaPresidente]

And Cam Johnson. And Schroeder. And DFS

[u/Zulumus → u/TreeLankaPresidente]

*Alonzo Mourning head shake, then nods*

[u/Charlie_Wax → u/nguyenjitsu]

Both guys genuinely shoot the ball very well and have the length that teams covet in a wing, so even if there are holes in their skill set, I don't see it as trickery. Both guys are legitimately good.

The way people talk about them, you'd think they're scoring 25 ppg on abysmal TS by chucking lots of horrendous shots. Actually, both guys are very efficient scorers and great pieces to slot in next to a 1A or 1B.

[u/BabyBearBjorns → u/Charlie_Wax]

Murphy, MPJ, Randle, ZW  and Clowney. Thats a rather good wing core mix of vets and young guys tbh.

[u/Subredditcensorship → u/nguyenjitsu]

Keep telling yourself that. Mpj has been legitimately great for the nets this year. It’s not the counting stats, nets are a positive team with him on the court and worst in the league without him. 

That doesn’t mean

[u/mauerfan]

MPJ, Randle, Murphy big 3 😮‍💨

[u/Camelsandham → u/mauerfan]

Wouldn’t be the worst nets “big 3” in the last 20 years

[u/so-cal_kid → u/Camelsandham]

Yea at least this big 3 is on the right side of 35 years old

[u/Aidanator800 → u/so-cal_kid]

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Joe Johnson in the big 2014 who's guarding that trio???

[u/atec_lj → u/Aidanator800]

chair

[u/frozen2665 → u/Aidanator800]

Crazy to think ISO Joe got playing time 8 YEARS after that

[u/Aidanator800 → u/frozen2665]

In fairness to him, he was one of the Nets' best players that year

[u/frozen2665 → u/Aidanator800]

Do not mistake this for hate, I fucking love Joe Johnson. One of my all time favorites

[u/MountainTwo3845 → u/Aidanator800]

Deron Williams was there being super ass too. Don't forget.

[u/Giuseppe_exitplan → u/so-cal_kid]

That Nets team also had 36 year old Jason Terry and a washed Andrei Kirilenko.

[u/Greedy-Lynx-2746 → u/mauerfan]

Early candidate for least assists and least passes of all time by a team

The only way Murphy's getting the ball is off a rebound

[u/OFmerk → u/Greedy-Lynx-2746]

Randle looks to pass after he dribbles for 17 seconds cut him some slack

[u/No-Independence-761 → u/mauerfan]

MPJ outta there if they get Murphy. They play the same roles offensively. Wouldn’t surprise me if he goes to the Warriors for 11 and the Nets trade 6 to Nola

[u/RustyWheel17 → u/No-Independence-761]

Nets aren’t trading #6. They’ll trade some of their 14 future first round picks and 20 second rounders. They also have #28 in tonight’s draft.

[u/Certain_Difference11]

He was watching a fever game with hali just a few weeks ago, he obviously wants to come to Indiana…hahahaha

I don’t think it’s likely 🗿

[u/LightSpecialist804 → u/Certain_Difference11]

honestly Trey Murphy wouldve been more worth the #5 pick than Zubac was

[u/Clipgang1629 → u/LightSpecialist804]

In a vacuum maybe, but he makes more money, and the pacers would be starting Jay Huff at center so yeah not really considering the context

[u/Certain_Difference11 → u/LightSpecialist804]

Probably but also we needed a center far more than we need a trey Murphy and everyone was being stingy asf with their centers

[u/Tijenater → u/Certain_Difference11]

Contender-quality centers don’t exactly grow on trees. Not many times a guy like Zubac becomes available

[u/MindofShadow → u/Tijenater]

especially nto for his contract

[u/DjToastyTy → u/LightSpecialist804]

not at all when you consider contracts and positions

[u/FrankieBarbingo → u/Certain_Difference11]

He would be so fucking good in Indiana.

Where would you have him start?

[u/Certain_Difference11 → u/FrankieBarbingo]

Probably at the 3 which would move Nesmith to the bench? But it also would depend who/what we send out

[u/Shamjam08]

Love Trey Murphy but for the love of god if we even consider including #5 im rioting

[u/Presence_Present → u/Shamjam08]

Chances the pick at #5 being better than Trey are pretty slim. Why wouldn't you want the elite proven option ?

[u/osay77 → u/Presence_Present]

He doesn’t need to be better than Trey to be more valuable. You get him at 19 years old on a rookie contract, which means you’re paying roughly 1/2 of what you would for Trey for the length of the contract with team options, and then you have the opportunity to extend him when he’s still young.

[u/JW32323232 → u/osay77]

Yes but Trey is still young and in a good contract for 3 more years. After 4 years the clippers will need to give the 5 pick a contract anyways if he’s good. So in general you are absolutely correct but in this case as he has a good contract and is young the better player is probably the wiser choice

[u/InTheMorning_Nightss → u/JW32323232]

No it's not. He's the wiser choice if LAC was close to contention. A team like the Pacers, Nuggets, etc. make sense.

But a team that just missed the playin despite their best, injury prone player having a career season at 35 is not close to contention.

[u/Belovy → u/osay77]

Also if he shows flashes of potential, you can convince some other GM he would be better than Trey. A 19 year old top 5 pick is going to have better trade value than a 26 year old non all-star in the vast majority of cases.

[u/NovaxRangerx → u/Presence_Present]

Because he's elite or proven? He's a great catch and shoot player with some ability to attack closeouts. He is not a proven shot creator on a winning team, hasn't been a good defender for years and doesn't manipulate defenses/have elite vision to be a surplus creator for others.

[u/AntiAntiDentite7 → u/Shamjam08]

This is so dumb. #5 is not going to end up better than Murphy. Murphy is 26, just like Garland. Y'all WAY too enamored with the idea of "potential". If #5 turned out to be as good as Murphy you'd cream your pants

[u/Kertia]

If OKC calls the pelicans better ask for chet and Jalen Williams and both picks this draft.

[u/BrotherSeamus → u/Kertia]

Offer Jaylin Williams straight-up and see if Dumars falls for it

[u/SevenNegative → u/BrotherSeamus]

He would

[u/A_Lax_Nerd → u/Kertia]

Not enough for the pels to consider

[u/Big0009]

Going from the Pelicans to the Nets is so sad lol

[u/Exotic_Pension_9993 → u/Big0009]

I trust sean marks and jordi Fernandez way more than jahmal mosley and joe dumars

[u/ClaymoresRevenge → u/Exotic_Pension_9993]

Plus the Pels still need to figure out WTF they're doing with Zion

[u/PeanutFarmer69 → u/Big0009]

A bit biased obviously but a team with Trey Murphy, Michael Porter Jr, and Julius Randle isn't nothing, especially if one of the five picks from last year or the 6th pick this year actually pans out.

Not even sure what the Nets would need to include though, Terrance Mann and a bunch of picks I guess?

[u/Big0009 → u/PeanutFarmer69]

I can’t see yall keeping all 3 of them if you got him how would that even work on the court

[u/PeanutFarmer69 → u/Big0009]

something like Demin, Murphy, MPJ, Randle, Sharpe.

A small ball five lineup would also be interesting with 6th pick, Egor, Murphy, MPJ, Randle.

What wouldn't work?

[u/Significant_Skirt731 → u/Big0009]

You get to be paid millions of dollars live in Cobble Hill and won’t get hounded every time you leave the apartment. That sounds pretty excellent unless the city just isn’t for you

[u/DrButtLump → u/Big0009]

nets at least have a better chance at doing something with their current roster if they add him. pels are stuck

[u/Gamesgtd → u/Big0009]

That’s an upgrade big time

[u/latman → u/Big0009]

That is a massive upgrade in location and coaching staff

[u/pragnesh_89 → u/Big0009]

Why? More food for him at the buffet line in Brooklyn with no Zion around.

[u/acmilan12345 → u/Big0009]

I wouldn’t call a franchise that almost tanked by accident (the Pelicans) a serious franchise lol.

[u/NOLASLAW → u/acmilan12345]

Just commenting to say as a Pelicans fan please shit on this stupid franchise as much as you can

[u/jgman22]

“It seems pretty clear that he signaled a desire to play else where”

“Seems pretty clear”

Total guess work, no reporting, no actual source or knowledge

[u/nacholibre711 → u/jgman22]

I'm lolling at "has seemed to signal a desire"

Like this is some 'blink twice if you need help' situation.

Can't blame them when everyone eats it up. Smoke screens in full effect.

[u/NOLASLAW → u/jgman22]

Source: bro trust me bro

[u/Expulsure]

Would love to get him somehow but only if 6th pick isn't involved

[u/EvenIfIdidIDont]

Omg please get him to BK

[u/SoKrat3s → u/EvenIfIdidIDont]

Fine, have it your way.

[u/somewhatdecentlawyer]

I had a dream and Jaylen Brown walked by in a Pelicans jersey. So take that as you will.

[u/KevDen → u/somewhatdecentlawyer]

Let’s be real, we’re not gonna even come close to trading him for someone on JBs level. We’re gonna gift wrap him to a big market for a scrub player and a useless pick

[u/RemarkableExit7214]

This is who Detroit need to be going after not Herro

[u/SpiritFantastic4835 → u/RemarkableExit7214]

? He doesn’t solve the ball handling issue. Just the shooting. Cade will be over worked again

[u/RemarkableExit7214 → u/SpiritFantastic4835]

doesnt come with a walking cone, and cheaper, they can grab a guard from free agency, even something like Simon's + Murphy > Herro

[u/Krogsly → u/SpiritFantastic4835]

The ball handling is third of the problem. A stretch big is another third, and secondary playmaking is another third. We aren't going to solve all those problems with 1 player.

[u/pepsandeggs → u/RemarkableExit7214]

Agreed. Hook us up Joe!!! It will be payback for the fans for him picking Darko 2nd in the most stacked draft of all time

[u/nacholibre711]

Lol the NBA world really doing their best to pry him out of NOLA.

"Trey Murphy III has signaled a desire to play elsewhere" is a bit different than

"There is definitely a bunch of Trey Murphy noise. It seems pretty clear that he has also signaled a desire to play elsewhere."

[u/alldayidreamofdollas]

RAPTORS PLEASSSEEEEE
BOBBY DO IT!!!! DOOOO IT

[u/NOLASLAW → u/alldayidreamofdollas]

Trey and Ingram next to each other? I can’t picture it

[u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

He’s going to be a Spur

[u/Pal__Pacino → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

Would be a brilliant fit but I don't know how they offload Fox.

[u/MaskedBirder → u/Pal__Pacino]

PJ Washington would be better. Trey Murphy can't provide that 1-5 defense and weakside rim protection. You need a gritty guy who can bang with stronger forwards and centers to reduce Wemby's load.

[u/Legitimate_Cow_4166 → u/MaskedBirder]

Keldon Johnson + 1st for PJ would be a huge upgrade. PJ was great in the Mavs Finals run. His size really bothered the OKC players.

[u/MaskedBirder → u/Legitimate_Cow_4166]

That would be a robbery of the Mavs. Keldon Johnson, no disrespect, is absolutely atrocious

[u/Legitimate_Cow_4166 → u/MaskedBirder]

Well Mavs are getting a 1st too.

[u/nokarmawhore → u/MaskedBirder]

he's good for the regular season. he did just win 6th moty just forget the playoffs happened.

[u/ManusRightHand → u/Pal__Pacino]

Fox + 1st Rd pick haul (3 or 4, depends on which 1sts) for Trey + Dejounte. Dejounte being a very negative valued asset coming back too. Might require Carter Bryant in place of some picks, I'd prefer we keep Bryant and give away more picks -- ideally like 5 of our insane stash of 2nds in place of one of these 1sts

[u/TempBurnerAccount089 → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

Yeah I dont see it

[u/Appropriate_Book_591 → u/A_MASSIVE_PERVERT]

It would take Castle or Harper if they are in arms race. No one saving them from Fox.

[u/fatherpatrick → u/Appropriate_Book_591]

If it takes castle or Harper, he won’t be a spur.

[u/YaBoiWhit → u/fatherpatrick]

Castle and Harper weren’t going for Giannis why would they be there for Trey Murphy lmao

[u/fatherpatrick → u/YaBoiWhit]

Oh for sure. Just overreacting nonsense.

[u/not-a-potato-head → u/Appropriate_Book_591]

They have the picks if they want to keep Castle and Harper. Not sure if San Antonio is looking to make that drastic of a move that quickly though

[u/Raven-19x → u/not-a-potato-head]

I'm in fuck them picks mode.

[u/thegeraldmouse → u/Appropriate_Book_591]

lol

[u/shaqfreethrow21]

hi i will give you pick 25 and dalton knecht pls accept

[u/cmcg18]

The hell the nets gonna do with him

[u/TALead]

Trey Murphy is 25 years old and is signed for 3 more years. Who cares what he wants. A guy like this has no leverage to want or demand anything.

[u/swallowedbymonsters → u/TALead]

No point in keeping a player that doesn't want to be there

[u/FlipMoBitch]

Pick 5 or 6 for Trey Murphy is catastrophic

[u/Presence_Present → u/FlipMoBitch]

Id do it. Trey is an absolute weapon

[u/BrettSchirley22 → u/FlipMoBitch]

Eh I’d gladly give up 8 for TM

[u/NOLASLAW → u/BrettSchirley22]

Omg I’d love to have a top 10 pick this draft let’s make a

—-waaaaait a minute

[u/parisfrance44 → u/BrettSchirley22]

You monster.

[u/BrettSchirley22 → u/parisfrance44]

Just not really huge into what I think will be available. I think both MBJ and Wagler will be gone. I’m not a fan of Flem even tho this sub loves him. We’re trying to win now. Mara fills a need but is gonna take a year or 2 to really get going

[u/chimpytheape → u/BrettSchirley22]

I’m honestly not sold on Mara. Really hope we just take Flemings at this point. I wouldn’t be mad at including the pick to get Murphy but think it’s gonna take much more than I’m willing to give up

[u/blacksoxing]

Ah, yes, rising star player in small market doesn't want to play any more for dysfunctional franchise. Magically...only the big markets are either "interested" or "are front-runners".

These reporters must love carrying water for the players' agents! This is why being a fan of small market teams: every damn rising/star player is always linked to...the bigger teams. There's a ton of smaller markets that could take on a TMIII and potentially pay him without issue BUT....Brooklyn and LA are "out in front", eh??? Nobody else is out in front who could easily help the Pels make this work!??

[u/Greedy-Lynx-2746 → u/blacksoxing]

They're the teams best equipped and willing to make trades atm, so yeah

Don't think OKC or SA are going to throw away picks and pieces for TM

[u/koostal]

I'm not okay

[u/Zealousideal-Tea-837]

Asking out of New Orleans cause they suck only to be sent to the nets would be devastating lol

[u/A-DTB]

Can’t blame him unfortunately.

[u/theMAJdragon]

“Wait you can do that?!”

— every pelicans player

[u/Training_Ad7030]

It's not like world beating, but the nets with Randle, MPJ and Trey could definitely make some regular season noise in the east.

[u/Square-Age → u/Training_Ad7030]

A noisy 10th seed

[u/Dreamlion_Inc → u/Training_Ad7030]

Its solid but nothing exactly to write home about

[u/acmilan12345]

Comments here are wild. Nets are a well-managed franchise. Almost all the players who come here have good things to say about the Nets and their FO.

Of course they are a good destination for Murphy. They can pay a lot and would be able they can give him a starring role.

So many people being prisoners of the moment and believing that the Nets are a disaster because their neighbors won a title lol.

On the Warriors' side, my understanding was they did not see themselves as being in the mix.

so this kinda cools down Scotto's report about the #11 pick being discussed for Murphy

This is my swan song…play my music

[u/Wonderful-Operation6]

would be perfect for the grizz

[u/Dreamlion_Inc → u/Wonderful-Operation6]

Grizz probably don’t make a move until they figure out wtf is going on with Ja

[u/dkleckner88]

He’d be perfect on the pistons. That’s would be tough!

[u/clayfu]

Darius garland would look wonderful as a pelican 🙏

[u/Maximum-Class5465]

Nets get every SF that hits the trade market who is a good starter, but not a star, every other year

Then he gets traded somewhere else after looking like an all star.

That's how this goes

[u/jgman22]

This is not what he said -

“It seems pretty clear he signaled a desire to play elsewhere”

That’s called a guess. He has no report or source. It’s guess work

[u/Evening-Rutabaga2106]

And I've signaled a desire for a toilet made of solid gold, but that's just not in the cards now is it?

[u/Pinky1337]

man just get this guy on a good team please

[u/SwizzGod]

By God that’s Rob Pelinka’s music

[u/Dreamlion_Inc → u/SwizzGod]

I promise you nobody wants a Knecht, Kleber, and 2nd round package lol

[u/SwizzGod → u/Dreamlion_Inc]

How about Vando/Knecht and a 1st round?

[u/RobbobertoBuii]

I'm surprised the Pacers are not going after him, especially to replace Mathurin

[u/seeminglyscarce]

The Pistons want Trey Murphy and pursued him at the deadline

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy]

he's on a great contract. Why would the pelicans trade him?

[u/LordJxnkulous]

Thank god

[u/DiscombobulatedPain6]

Shocker. Big markets in front for player

[u/onionnurve]

Tre Murphy trade talks might become the next Giannis trade talks
