AP source: Pelicans' McCollum agrees to 2-year extension
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Pelicans guard CJ McCollum has agreed to a two-year, $64 million contract extension that runs through the 2025-2026 season, a person familiar with the situation said Saturday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Pelicans have not announced the deal, which was first reported by ESPN. McCollum was acquired from Portland shortly before last season's trade deadline and averaged 24.3 points after the trade, helping the Pelicans rally into playoff contention.

Yahoo Sports Commentary
Daniels grew 2 inches, reaching 6-foot-8 by the end of the G League season. He can add some much-needed size to the Trail Blazers as a primary ball-handler on the second unit or at the wing position with the starting rotation.
