According to reports, the warriors have “strong affinity” for Trey Murphy III – NBC Sports Bay Area and California

Warriors are interested in trading for another player to integrate Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler.

Golden State has been aggressive in the search for potential operations to fill in the roster and have a great interest in New Orleans’s Pelicans, the striker Trey Murphy III, according to Insider Jake Fischer.

“Sources say that warriors have a strong affinity for Murphy and have made it possible to recently recently like this summer,” Fischer said. “Yet sources say that the Pellicans, to be clear, have beaten requests for the 25-year-old, evaluating it a lot. The two-way striker will play with a contract in 2025-26-a foreseen $ 25 million-relevant as his talent.

With the contractual interviews to a detention with Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State’s front office has tried to find young talents elsewhere who could integrate their fundamental trio. Murphy III would adapt to the heavy offense of the coach Steve Kerr, especially considering his shooting skills.

“You could certainly understand why Warriors would like Murphy,” Fischer said. “It is not difficult to imagine his length, his defensive ability and the 3 -point mesh shooting next to Curry, Butler and Draymond Green. Murphy is a career shooter at 38% from deep; having enough shooting to surround their three fundamental pillars is among the reasons why warriors were willing to go so far in their Kuminga negua.”

The 25 -year -old marked on average 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game last season with the Pellicans.

Kuminga and Warriors are still in a stalemate in the contractual negotiations, with the 22 -year -old who appears unwilling to sign an agreement that would make him easier to exchange next season. That long -term safety level seems to be the critical point, which prompted the front office to investigate the trading for other players.

With Curry, Green and Butler who still perform at high level, the challenge for the front office will be to find young economic players who can fill in the roster and perform when necessary.

Murphy III could be that missing piece if the Pellicans are willing to separate from him, even if so far they have a strong price required.
