Warriors receive the Trey Murphy III update they hoped would never come

The Golden State Warriors have a well-documented interest in acquiring New Orleans Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III. It's been reported ad nauseam, although updates have been admittedly thin on the type of information that can facilitate a stronger understanding of the situation.

Unfortunately, the Warriors' greatest fears are seemingly shared by others around the NBA, as Murphy could potentially command a return in the range of what the Memphis Grizzlies received for Desmond Bane.

Memphis traded Bane to the Orlando Magic in exchange for four first-round draft choices and a pick swap. It was a blockbuster deal that further established how picks have replaced players, in some respects, as the most coveted return for a high-level player.
