REPORT: Dejounte Murray Requests Trade From New Orleans Pelicans

Murray and his agent are seeking a resolution as he averages 13.4 points per game and can become a free agent this summer.

  • On Friday, New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray requested a trade from the franchise, with his agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, working alongside team officials to reach a resolution.
  • The Pelicans' 4-8 start and four-game losing streak have fueled tensions, with Murray having a heated exchange with head coach Jamahl Mosley during Wednesday's 34-point loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
  • Murray is playing the final guaranteed season of a four-year, $114 million deal while earning $32.8 million this year; injuries have limited him to 54 total games over three seasons.
  • NBA insider Chris Haynes reported the Phoenix Suns have "registered interest" in acquiring the veteran guard, citing roster frustration because the team "does not have a point guard that could organize" the offense.
  • Beyond Phoenix, the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks are potential landing spots for the former All-Star, who earned All-Star honors with the San Antonio Spurs in 2022 before joining the Atlanta Hawks.
