Although the trade has not been made official, Murray recently sent a job on social media wearing Pelicans gear.

His post received more than 6,000 likes and 290,000 impressions in less than three hours.

The Pelicans have an extremely talented team, so the addition of Murray makes them one of the most intriguing teams in the Western Conference.

In addition to Murray, they also have a starting lineup that includes Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram.

The Pelicans finished last season in eighth place in the Western Conference with a 49-33 record.

They defeated the Sacramento Kings in the playoff tournament, but were swept in the first round of the NBA playoffs by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Murray was the 29th overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft out of Washington and also spent time with the San Antonio Spurs during his eight years in the league.

His career averages are 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from three-point range in 472 games.
