The Detroit Pistons have one less option as the trade deadline approaches, as it appears Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans is off limits.
TMIII has been a popular target for both fans and pundits alike, who saw his shooting and secondary scoring as the perfect fit for the Pistons.
The idea did make some sense, as he’s a fit skill wise, and the Pelicans aren’t going anywhere this season and could kickstart a rebuild around Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears by cashing in players like Zion Williamson, Herb Jones and Murphy III.
