Fischer reported on Substack that the Warriors "have a strong affinity for Murphy and have made outreach to New Orleans as recently as this summer." However, he noted that the Pelicans "have batted away calls for the 25-year-old, valuing him highly."
The two-way forward is set to play on a $25 million contract in 2025-26, matching the value of his talent. Fischer also mentioned that the Spurs are another team that has expressed trade interest in Murphy.
Murphy, the 17th overall pick in 2021, has spent four seasons with New Orleans.
Last season, he averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 45.4% from the field and 36.1% from three-point range.
