The guard, an All-Star back in 2022, wants out after a rough stretch in New Orleans.
Dejounte Murray has requested a trade from the Pelicans, according to sources, ending what has been a disappointing tenure in New Orleans.
Murray made his lone All-Star appearance in 2022, but things have not gone the way either side hoped since he landed with the Pelicans. The guard is now looking for a new home, and the team will presumably begin fielding calls on where it can send him.
No deal is reported as finalized, and it is unclear which teams have formally engaged New Orleans on a potential trade. Possible destinations have already been floated publicly, though nothing is confirmed.
For the Pelicans, this adds another complication to a stretch that has already featured plenty of roster uncertainty. For Murray, the request signals he believes his future is better served elsewhere, even if the exact next step remains to be sorted out by front offices around the league.
