The New Orleans Pelicans are 4-8 on the season under coach Jamahl Moseley, who signed a five-year deal this year and is working to develop his players from the inside-out, including Zion Williamson. Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray recently requested a trade, which led to Bill Simmons firing up the trade machine and making his own offer.

Following Murray's request, the Pelicans offered a response that was shared by Clutch Points' Brett Siegel.

“Today Dejounte Murray's representatives informed us of his request to be traded. We will evaluate potential trade opportunities that are in the best interest of our organization.”
