The Portland Trail Blazers have expressed interest in New Orleans Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. However, the one obstacle to making this a reality is the reportedly high asking price.
New Orleans may be listening to offers for their rising star, but they aren't going to part ways with him unless it's an offer that blows them away. Scotto notes that some executives around the league are comparing it to the Desmond Bane package Orlando sent Memphis this summer. That included Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, and a first-round pick swap.
