Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports that the New Orleans Pelicans have been listening to trade offers for their biggest stars, Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum.
The New Orleans Pelicans are undergoing a really tumultuous season, as they hold rock bottom of the Western Conference with a 5-25 score.

"Based on the reporting intel, Trey Murphy and Herb Jones are at a certain level for the Pelicans, they want to keep them," Buha said on his YouTube channel.
"Those are the two guys that are going to have a high price to give up, similar to Los Angeles Lakers with Austin Reaves. Seems like Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are three guys they've been shopping more, and not Dejounte Murray."
Buha continued talking about Dejounte Murray's case, and why the Pelicans are reluctant to ship him off somewhere else:
"I think the price for Dejounte Murray is still going to probably be high. I don't think they're just going to sell him for, like, a first and matching salary. I would personally be surprised if he gets flipped for that type of package," Buha concluded.
