Mar 21, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (3) works around Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (10) in the third quarter at Target Center. Mandatory Credit: Bruce Kluckhohn-Imagn Images The Washington Wizards completed a three-team trade on Sunday, acquiring guard CJ McCollum, center/forward Kelly Olynyk and forward Cam Whitmore from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for guard Jordan Poole, forward Saddiq Bay and the draft rights to guard Micah Peavy, along with sending two second-round draft picks to the Houston Rockets.
Washington also received the Warriors’ second-round pick in 2027 via the Chicago Bulls in the trade. The second-round picks the Wizards sent to the Rockets will be in 2026 (via the Bulls) and 2029 (via the Sacramento Kings).
McCollum, 33, who is entering the second and final year of a contract extension worth $64 million, averaged 21.1 points, 4.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 56 games (all starts) last season for the Pelicans.
In 12 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers and Pelicans, McCollum has career averages of 19.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 787 games (690 starts). Portland selected him with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
Olynyk, 34, was only with the Pelicans since a Feb. 6 trade from the Toronto Raptors. In 12 seasons, he is averaging 10.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 800 games (283 starts) with the Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, Utah Jazz, Toronto and New Orleans.
The 20-year-old Whitmore was selected by the Rockets with the 20th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. As a rookie, he flashed promise, averaging 12.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in only 18.7 minutes per game. In addition, he shot 35.9 percent from three-point range.
In his second season, Whitmore saw a slight minute reduction due to Houston’s crowded depth chart; he averaged 9.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game.
The Pelicans get younger with the addition of 26-year-old Poole, whose 20.5 points per game was tops for the Wizards last season. He averaged 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 68 starts in his second season in Washington after spending the first four years of his career with the Golden State Warriors.
Poole has career averages of 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 412 games (249 starts) since the Warriors drafted him in the first round (No. 28 overall) in the 2019 draft.
Bey signed a three-year deal with Washington last July but never played a game for the Wizards, missing the entire season while recovering from a torn left ACL sustained while he was with the Atlanta Hawks in March 2024.
The 26-year-old has career marks of 14.1 points and 5.2 boards in 292 games (223 starts) with the Detroit Pistons (2020-23) and Hawks.
Peavy, 23, was selected by the Wizards in the second round of last month’s draft out of Georgetown, where he averaged 17.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32 games (all starts) last season.
In five college seasons with Texas Tech (2020-21), TCU (2021-24) and Georgetown, Peavy averaged 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 159 games (108 starts).

Is Christian McCaffrey declining? As with Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, 1 season doesn’t tell entire story
It's early July, which means we're in the one part of the NFL calendar where nothing much is happening. The season runs from September through February, free agency opens in March, the draft happens in April, minicamps and OTAs take place in May and June and training camp opens toward the end of July and runs through August. These few weeks before camp starts are the only dead period the football world really has. Around this time of year, we (the football media) usually get into the types of stories that don't need a specific type of news peg to run. There was one such story at ESPN on Monday that caught my eye: their annual ranking of the league's top players at specific positions, as determined by a poll of coaches, executives and scouts from around the league. They started […]

Fantasy football rankings 2025: Sleepers, busts, breakouts by NFL model that foresaw C.J. Stroud’s down year
The 2025 NFL season is still a few months away, but 2025 Fantasy football drafts are right around the corner. There are always Fantasy football sleepers who are flying under the radar, and there are also Fantasy football breakouts set to make a major impact. Carolina Panthers fans are hoping Rico Dowdle turns into an excellent Fantasy football pick after coming over from Dallas. Dowdle rushed for a career-high 1,079 yards last season, the 12th-most in the NFL, while also adding 249 yards on 39 catches and three touchdowns. However, Dowdle will now share a backfield with Chuba Hubbard, who had his own breakout last season with a career-best 1,195 rushing yards on 250 carries and 10 touchdowns. Which player will emerge as the lead back in Carolina, and which other running backs should you target in your 2025 Fantasy […]
