New Orleans Pelicans Trade Veteran CJ McCollum to Washington Wizards
- On June 24, 2025, the Washington Wizards acquired CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, and the 40th overall pick in the NBA draft.
- The Pelicans made this move on the eve of the draft to begin reshaping their roster under new executive VP Joe Dumars after a 21-61 season, their worst in 20 years.
- McCollum spent 3½ seasons in New Orleans, averaged 21.1 points, holds the franchise record with 692 made 3-pointers, and Olynyk was acquired from Toronto in February.
- Poole set a new Wizards record last season with 235 made 3-pointers, averaged a career-high 20.5 points per game, and is under contract for the next two seasons, earning $31.8 million in the upcoming year.
- The Wizards gain $57 million in expiring contracts and financial freedom, which could help their rebuild and youth movement while the Pelicans enter a new era with added draft assets.
