Pelicans Eye Murphy Trade for Lottery Pick

Pistons are in the mix with draft assets but lack a 2026 lottery pick, while Warriors—holding the 11th overall pick—could be the surprise contenders, especially since New Orleans sent their 2026 pick to Atlanta, opening the door for Golden State to land Murphy. This could be a seismic move for the Pelicans’ youth-driven rebuild—and a major shakeup for whoever ends up pulling the trigger.
