Spurs acquiring ideal trade target becomes more likely by the day

The San Antonio Spurs are off to their best start in years, reemerging as a potential playoff team. While they could contend this season, they may need to bring in some reinforcements to reach their full potential. That is where the New Orleans Pelicans could potentially come into play.

With the Pelicans' season heading nowhere fast, they may reconsider trading forward Trey Murphy III. Over last season and this season, he's combined to average 21 points and 5.4 rebounds and is shooting 36% from three on 8.2 3-point attempts per game.

Murphy III would instantly be a top trade target among contenders, and the Spurs should be among the teams interested.
