According to the report of Shams, a well-known NBA reporter, the Pelicans and the Wizards reached a three-for-three deal. The specific details are as follows:

The Pelicans gave out: CJ McCollum Olynick a second-round draft pick.

Wizards sent: Jordan Pursadik Bay's 2025 No. 40 draft pick.

The Pelicans formed a very competitive lineup last season. Zion Ingram de Jante Murray McCollum. All four of them have the level of scoring 20+ points, but unfortunately, the team has been in the curse of injury since the beginning of the season. Murray's Achilles tendon was torn out of season and was reimbursed. The Pelicans then sent Ingram to the Raptors. Zion's injury risk was too great to take action. Now they can only send McCollum away to start the reconstruction work. McCollum averaged 21.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season, shooting 44.4% from the field and 37.3% from three-pointers. His contract has expired one year, and his salary is $30.67 million next season. Olynick played for the Pelicans for 20 games and was sent back to the East. He averaged 10.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists per game, 50% of the field goal percentage, and 38.9% of the three-point shooting percentage. Olynick has good ability to respond and can open up space to shoot three-pointers. The contract has one year left, and his salary will be $13.45 million next season. In this way, the Wizards can release $43 million in salary space at the end of next season, which is enough to recruit a superstar.

Poole has performed well in the Wizards since he was abandoned by the Warriors. He played 68 games this season, averaged 20.5 points, 3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting percentage of 43.2%, and three-point shooting percentage of 37.8%. The contract has two years to expire, and his salary is $31.85 million next season. Sadiq Bay has been reimbursed for one game this season and has not played. The contract has expired for two years, namely 6.12 million and 6.44 million respectively. Poole returned to the West and had more chances to meet his old club, the Warriors. Because Green attacked Poole, Poole was eventually abandoned. Poole had a deep grudge with Green. Every time he met the Warriors, he would do his best. Now that he returned to the West, the Warriors had another strong opponent. Next season, Green and Poole's grudge matchup will be watched two more games.
