When you have a start as bad as the New Orleans Pelicans have had, your best players are bound to be thrown in mock trades and rumors. And while rumors surrounding Zion Williamson suggest the Pelicans are desperate and will take the first decent offer they get, that doesn't appear to be the case if the front office elects to trade Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones.
NBA insider Jake Fischer recently did a livestream with Bleacher Report. When talking about the Pelicans, he mentioned that he is starting to hear New Orleans is showing some willingness to listen to offers on both Murphy III and Jones.
