The Golden State Warriors want Trey Murphy III.
They were first linked to the New Orleans Pelicans wing during the offseason, and have been again in even stronger fashion in a report from Sam Amick of The Athletic on Friday.
Murphy represents the best of both worlds for the Warriors -- a budding young star who Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office could trade for without sacrificing one of their veterans in Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green (and Stephen Curry of course).
This gives Golden State an obvious path to presenting a package to New Orleans that while significant, doesn't necessarily come with the finanical complications of other stars who make $40-50+ million annually.
