The high level options are seemingly running out for the Golden State Warriors leading up to the trade deadline, with the latest on Trey Murphy III leaving Michael Porter Jr. as the clear next target for Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office.
According to NBA insider Chris Haynes on Friday, the New Orleans Pelicans are informing rival teams that Murphy will be remaining with them past the deadline which, if true, takes away one of Golden State's ideal trade options for young forward Jonathan Kuminga.
Michael Porter Jr. is the obvious next target for the Warriors
With the Pelicans seemingly uninterested in moving on from Murphy, and Anthony Davis surely no longer an option following his latest injury blow, acquiring Porter appears the best case scenario for the Warriors before the deadline.
