92.9 FM EPSN is Memphis' NBA Station, and Home of the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday (6/25) and Thursday (6/26). Coverage both nights beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Washington Wizards have acquired veteran guard CJ McCollum (34, 21.1 ppg last season) and stretch‑big Kelly Olynyk (34, solid floor spacing), both on expiring contracts, plus a future second‑round pick, in exchange for Jordan Poole (26, a 20.5 ppg scorer with 37.8% 3‑point accuracy) and wing Saddiq Bey (26, recovering from ACL but showed upside), along with the #40 pick in the 2025 draft.
This trade clearly reveals two divergent strategies: Washington is pushing for immediate stability and veteran leadership to complement their developing core, while New Orleans is retooling around youth and long‑term control. Poole and Bey address NOLA’s need for athleticism and upside next to Zion, with cost certainty under team control. Meanwhile, the Wizards reload with playoff‑tested McCollum and sharpshooting Olynyk, signaling ambition to compete in the short term and prepare for free‑agency access with expiring deals.
