A new report from a notable NBA insider points to the Golden State Warriors<\/a> pursuing one of two blockbuster trades, including for fast-rising young star Trey Murphy III.<\/p>\n

After landing Jimmy Butler in a big trade in February, he quickly gelled with his new team, and in the spring, Golden State looked like a real dark-horse title contender. However, an injury to Steph Curry during the playoffs derailed everything.<\/p>\n

But it left the team with high expectations for 2025-26. However, after a quick start, the Warriors have been an average team and own a 13-12 record. That\u2019s why it\u2019s no surprise that they have been linked to various NBA trade rumors in recent weeks, since they have a very small title window with their aging stars.<\/p>\n

Late on Tuesday, a new and very interesting rumor emerged. According to veteran NBA insider Jake Fischer<\/a>, the New Orelans Pelicans are surprisingly not turning away trade interest in Trey Murphy III. Months ago, it looked like he would be a long-term building block. However, they own the worst record in the NBA and badly need draft capital for 2026 after moving up in June\u2019s event to get Derik Queen.<\/p>\n

Fischer believes the Warriors may pursue him again, as they did in the summer, and dangle Jonathan Kuminga\u2019s contract, as well as future first-round picks, in a deal. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 21 points for a second straight season, as well as six rebounds. He is signed through 2028-29<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Could the Golden State Warriors target Myles Turner trade?\"myles<\/p>\n

However, Murphy isn\u2019t the only name Fischer believes could be on Golden State\u2019s trade wish list in the months ahead. The team has been linked to potential front-court help. Especially since Al Horford has not made the impact in the middle that the Warriors brass hoped for.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the NBA insider believes Myles Turner may also be a target for the Warriors, using Kuminga\u2019s expiring contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn interesting potential salary match for Golden State in Kuminga\u2019s salary range would be Bucks center Myles Turner, who\u2019s earning $25.1 million this season,\u201d he wrote. \u201cDon\u2019t forget that the Warriors have shown some real interest in Turner in the past, according to league sources, dating to well-chronicled trade discussions between Golden State and Indiana that included various concepts involving Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, and Buddy Hield.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turner was the biggest addition of the offseason for the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>. However, he has made no difference for what is currently a losing team in 2025-26. With rumors swirling that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be traded before the February deadline, Turner might be part of a potential rebuild sell-off by the team later this season.<\/p>\n
