>Following the blockbuster Jaylen Brown trade, there are those within league circles wondering if New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III will be the next big trade domino to fall. 

>Before this past trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, and Los Angeles Lakers called to express interest in trading for Murphy, as previously reported by HoopsHype. 

>Some teams have faded from the Murphy trade conversation. Indiana got Ivica Zubac before the trade deadline. Portland acquired Ja Morant. San Antonio went to the NBA Finals and has since agreed to deals with forwards Harrison Barnes and Tobias Harris in free agency. The Lakers just made a flurry of offseason moves. 

>Teams that are in the mix for Murphy to varying degrees now are the Celtics, Pistons, Warriors, Clippers, and Hawks, league sources told HoopsHype. 

>The Celtics have monitored Murphy’s trade market, and following the Brown trade for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks, they have gained extra draft capital that New Orleans has desired in any trade talks. 

>The Pistons have consistently circled the wagons on Murphy in trade talks, but felt the price was too high. With the asking price dropping from the equivalent of four to three first-round picks in any Murphy trade talks recently, will Detroit have more of an appetite to make a trade following the loss of Tobias Harris in free agency?

The New Orleans Pelicans and Minnesota Timberwolves both have interest in trading for Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant. In a recent appearance on FanDuel TV's Run It Back show Sam Amick of The Athletic recently said that the Pelicans are probably the frontrunner to trade for Morant.

The Grizzlies tried to trade Morant ahead of last season's NBA trade deadline, but were unable to complete a deal. It's been expected since then that Memphis would reengage teams in trade talks this offseason.

Minnesota has been connected to Morant since last year. However, given Morant's large salary, it might be hard for them to complete a deal. The Pelicans would likely have to move veteran point Dejounte Murray in a deal for Morant. New Orleans also has Jeremiah Fears, who they drafted last year in the first round, on the roster.
