Five Pelicans untouchables, including Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III
Last in the Western Conference, Pelicans could use the upcoming “trade deadline” to leave the elements they no longer count on until the end of their reconstruction.
in the end, Chris Haines reports that NOLA officials have already compiled a list of untouchable players: Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, Derrick Queen etc Jeremiah Fears.
In all likelihood, and unless it is difficult to reject the offer, these five elements will therefore continue to be part of the Pelicans’ team after the February 5 transfer deadline. Although these are, however, their top five funds on the market.
Perhaps New Orleans executives appreciated what the team showed in mid-December, when it reeled off a five-game winning streak around its Fears-Jones-Murphy III-Williamson-Queen quintet.
Or maybe after Trae Young is looking for a transfer (considered weak), it’s a way to raise the stakes for Zaun Williamson, Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones, all cited in transfer rumours in recent weeks.
On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine the newcomers leaving Derrick Queen and Jeremiah Fears, who have been showing big things for almost three months now.
