Trey Murphy III Trade Drama | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Trey Murphy III trade saga is spiraling — from blockbuster rumors to sudden price drops and now hanging on LeBron’s decision. While early offseason moves made sense for New Orleans, teams aren’t biting at the high asking price anymore, and trading now won’t net the haul they hoped for. Murphy, a versatile 26-year-old scorer, still fits any contender — but late-season market demand is sluggish. The Pelicans shouldn’t rush a deal. Patience is the smarter play: wait for the market to rebound, and don’t settle for less than Murphy’s true value.

SMU Guard Jaron Pierre Jr. Signs Two-Way Deal | New Orleans Pelicans News

Jaron Pierre Jr., the 58th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and a 6-foot-5 scoring guard, just signed a two-way deal with the New Orleans Pelicans — a bold bet on his potential. After averaging 17.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and hitting 37% from three in his standout ACC season, Pierre’s journey from Southern Mississippi to Wichita State to Jacksonville State — where he earned Conference USA Player of the Year — proves his resilience. He already lit up Summer League with 10 points per game and now gets a shot to play up to 50 games with the Pelicans while earning half the rookie minimum. The Pelicans are clearly watching his growth — and he’s ready to prove they made the right call. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Hawkins’ Bench Struggle and Trade Potential | New Orleans Pelicans News

Pelicans may be ready to move on from Jordan Hawkins, the 2023 14th pick who flashed brilliance early—including a 31-point game—but has since been benched with minimal minutes since January. Despite a $7M option for this season, his dwindling role and raw talent suggest a fresh start could reignite his career. At just 24, he’s young and hungry, with championship pedigree from UConn. For any team, he’s a low-risk, high-reward gamble: an expiring contract with no baggage, just potential waiting to be unlocked.

Pelicans Eye Jordan Hawkins Trade | New Orleans Pelicans News

The Pelicans are finally stirring up trade rumors, with Jordan Hawkins potentially heading to Memphis in a deal that could involve draft picks and reshape their roster strategy. With Hawkins’ contract looming and limited trade value, the Pelicans may be trading him for cap space or to acquire a needed big man. Memphis, already full, likely wants assets back — possibly sparking a multi-team swap. It’s a sign of bigger plans, but nothing’s official yet.
