Trey Murphy on Zion Williamson: 'You get to see what a generational talent looks like with a healthy team'
How much does a healthy Zion Williamson swing the pendulum for the team? Trey Murphy: You get to see what a generational talent looks like with a healthy team. That’s the biggest thing. We’ve got to be healthy. That’s always been our thing for my entire time in New Orleans. If we have a healthy team, I think we can make a deep run.

Dejounte Murray has been quite impressive today. There are real vibes of the Pelicans landing a genuine leader, both on and off the court.
It feels like the Pelicans have landed a true rudder for a core of Zion, BI, Trey and the rest of the roster — this is huge!! – 12:31 PM

Lastly, the New Orleans Pelicans are interested in signing Beasley to stretch the floor around Zion Williamson, league sources told HoopsHype. The Pelicans are also eying a trade for a center while clearing some salary off their books. -via HoopsHype / July 6, 2024
What are your thoughts on what the Pelicans can do as a team next season with Dejounte Murray? Trey Murphy: We’ve got a lot of weapons, and we already had a lot. We’ve got even more weapons now. We obviously lost a lot of key guys we had on last year’s team, like Naji Marshall, Dyson Daniels, and Larry Nance Jr. We’re going to miss their presence a lot. But I definitely think we’re going to do a lot of stuff with the team we have now, and I’m sure we’re not even done with our roster construction. -via HoopsHype / July 11, 2024
What goes through your mind when you see Brandon Ingram’s name in trade rumors? Trey Murphy: It’s tough, and it’s also a part of the business. Brandon’s been unbelievable when it comes to being a role model, seeing how he works on a daily basis. He’s always been there for me and coached me up. He does all the little things. I work out with him and spend time with him off the court. It’s tough to potentially lose a brother like that, but it’s part of the business, and sometimes it might be what’s best for him. You never know what it is, but you’ve always got to make sure that he looks out for his best interests at the end of the day because that’s how it is. -via HoopsHype / July 11, 2024
