PJ Washington is a name to watch before the deadline. League sources say the #Hornets are listening to calls for Washington, albeit not actively shopping him. The #Heat, #Raptors and #Rockets are three of the teams showing interest in the third-year PF. – 7:53 PM

Eric Gordon had hoped to be back in the 3-point contest. He’s not. Zach LaVine, Desmond Bane, Karl-Anthony Towns, Fred VanVleet, C.J. McCollum, Luke Kennard, Patty Mills, Trae Young get the nod. – 7:32 PM

The Pels finally made their move.
With the acquisition of CJ McCollum, New Orleans hopes to make the next step in its progression.
My thoughts on the addition of a dynamic scoring threat to the backcourt and loss of a rugged defender like Josh Hart:

Devonte’ Graham on CJ McCollum: “He’s got everything in his bag. Obviously, he’s a hell of a player. He’s going to bring extremely good offense and take a lot of pressure off B (Brandon Ingram) in those 1-on-1 situations.” nola.com/sports/pelican… – 4:25 PM

Portland does have that (potential) lottery pick from New Orleans it could flip for a vet in a deal, so not surprised to see them still exploring – 4:07 PM
