"McCollum, expecting to excel as a veteran scorer for the Wizards, could be a trade target for teams in pursuit of playoff adjustments."
The Washington Wizards have traded Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, and their No. 40 overall pick to the New Orleans Pelicans for CJ McCollum, Kelly Olynyk, and a future second-round pick. McCollum is expected to provide veteran scoring as he steps into Poole’s role, although he carries a hefty contract. Olynyk brings experience and versatility, having been a consistent rotational player. This trade reflects both teams' desires to reshape their rosters as they aim for future success.
