The Pelicans are rebuffing trade inquiries on forwards Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones, and Trey Murphy III, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes (Twitter link), who reports that New Orleans is telling teams those players will remain in New Orleans through the February 5 trade deadline.
Haynes adds that rookies Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears are also considered off-limits, though there was never any expectation that the Pelicans would consider trading either of those players this season.
