Average of 21.2 points! Requires multiple first-round and young players! The Pelicans are talking big, will the Warriors retreat when they see the difficulties?

First, he was unable to reach an agreement with Kumingga, which led to the inability to sign Horford, Melton, etc. Later, the player asked for the price was spoken out by the opponent's Lions.

According to the NBA China official website, it is almost impossible for the Warriors to get Murphy, and the Pelicans are asking for multiple first-round and young players.

participated in the NBA draft in 21, and Murphy was selected by the Grizzlies at the 17th pick in the first round but then traded to the Pelicans.

rookie season, Murphy did not get much chance because of the existence of No. 1 Zion and No. 2 Ingram - he made only 1 starter with 62 appearances, and averaged 5.4 points per game with 13.9 minutes per game.

However, with the frequent injuries in the 22-23 season, Murphy got more opportunities to perform.

——22-23 season, 79 starts and 65 starts and averaged 10.1 shots per game to score 14.5 points;

—23-24 season, 57 starts and 23 starts and averaged 10.9 shots per game to score 14.8 points;

—24-25 season, 53 starts and 51 starts and averaged 15.8 shots per game to score 21.2 points. According to the data, Murphy has indeed maintained very good progress. In particular, Ingram became the team's starting third position after being traded to the Raptors.

Speaking of Murphy, it is easy to think of "3D" forwards like Bridges, Anunobi, and McDaniels. But that's not the case.

24-25 regular season, Murphy averaged 3.0 three-pointers per game, tied for Harden and Halliburton at 13th in the league, second only to Clay in the same position. However, the three-point rate is only 36.1%, which is one of them. Second, the three-point rate in the past three quarters showed a downward trend of 40.6%, 38.0% and 36.1% respectively. Obviously, three-pointers lack stability.

defensive end, DBPM (real positive and negative value of defense)-1.4, how should we understand?

Pistons' Beasley's value -1.2, Trail Blazers' Simmons' value -1.5, Lakers' Kneckett's value -1.7. These three are recognized as "couplings" on the defensive end. In other words, so is Murphy's defense. In fact, the opponent's shooting rate rose from 47.3% to 51.5% against defense this season.

Obviously, the Pelicans are talking big. To be precise, "sell" Murphy as a top 3D. In fact, this is completely unrelated.

Of course, how to sell is Dumas (the new general manager of the Pelicans), but in my opinion, the Warriors will most likely give up.

First of all, just these many first rounds, Dunleavy is not unable to take it out - it can be traded in 27, 29, and 31 years, and interchangeable in 28 and 30 years. But the question is it worth it? Still the same thing, Murphy is more like the gorgeous version of Kumingga in data.

Secondly, even if you can talk about the young player in the first round, it cannot satisfy the Pelicans - the young man that the Warriors can make is Podjemsky, but the Pelicans have Alvarado, who has better cost performance and stronger combat power.

Furthermore, we cannot rule out that asking for the price Murphy is more of a negotiation method used by the Warriors to put pressure on Kumingga. Of course, I think this is more likely. To put it bluntly, Murphy is just beautiful in the data, but his characteristics under the segment are inconsistent with the Warriors.
