Execs sketch price tags for Murphy, Irving and Porter Jr.

Anonymous executives gave Heavy their estimates for what it would take to land three trade-market names. One Western Conference exec pegs Trey Murphy's price at a good rotation player plus two firsts, down from the four-first-rounder asks the Pelicans have floated before.

On Kyrie Irving, an exec says his $42M player option makes any deal contingent on a handshake understanding, similar to James Harden's in Cleveland, with only one first-round pick likely given his ACL recovery.

Michael Porter Jr.'s market hinges on whether he accepts a lower extension number after a breakout year in Brooklyn, per an Eastern Conference exec.
