Pelicans Eye Gafford Trade | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans may finally land their starting center with a potential trade for Daniel Gafford from Dallas, who could pair perfectly with Zion Williamson. In return, the Mavericks could send Jordan Poole and draft picks to New Orleans, while also gaining cap space to build around Cooper Flagg. The deal would give the Pelicans immediate defensive presence and rim protection, even if it means taking on Caleb Martin’s contract — a move that could be worth it for a team desperate to turn things around.

Murphy Too Expensive for Blazers | New Orleans Pelicans News

Portland’s pursuit of Trey Murphy III hits a wall—New Orleans demands a brutal trade package: three first-round picks and a young player. While Murphy’s scoring and shooting would upgrade the Blazers’ frontcourt, the price is steep, especially after their recent moves and crowded backcourt. Golden State’s two-pick offer was rejected, signaling New Orleans’ hard stance. Portland’s not biting—this deal’s just too costly for a developing star.

Pelicans' Roster Moves and Wing Strength | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans are building for the future with a loaded wing corps but face tough decisions at guard and center. With Jeremiah Fears locked in and Dejounte Murray likely staying, they’re weighing trades for Jordan Poole and Hawkins—despite paying big for their backcourt. Their wings, led by Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones Jr., are elite, with young contributors like Peavy and McGowens stepping up. But the frontcourt remains a work in progress, relying on developing bigs Yves Missi and Derik Queen, plus two-way deals with DeAndre Jordan and Hunter Dickinson. Their lack of physicality down low could be a liability, and adding a true rim protector might be crucial if they want to compete for a title.

Warriors Walk Away from Murphy Trade | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Warriors threw down a serious trade offer for Trey Murphy—two first-round picks—but the Pelicans stood firm, demanding three picks plus a young player. With Murphy’s shooting and defense making him a key piece for New Orleans’ rebuild, the Pelicans see his long-term value. Golden State, focused on maximizing their current window, likely won’t meet that price, leaving Murphy in New Orleans for now. The Warriors are pivoting to other veteran targets with more flexible deals as the trade deadline looms. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Pelicans Target Defensive Wings | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans are on a mission to turn things around, targeting players who can plug critical holes in their roster—especially defense, spacing, and frontcourt toughness. Ochai Agbaji, a defensive anchor with three-and-D potential, could be the wing they’ve been searching for. Trendon Watford offers versatile, all-around value, while Nick Richards brings the rebounding and rim protection they desperately need. With limited resources and high stakes, these additions could be the foundation of a real contender. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
