To this point, the NBA has already seen some trades, yet that will only ramp up over the next month. The trade deadline is nearly a month away. For the New Orleans Pelicans, it's time to get active. It's early January and they only have six victories to their 19 losses despite holding quite hefty expectations heading into the season.

After over a decade in the NBA, CJ McCollum has been there before. He helped the New Orleans Pelicans snap an 11-game losing streak Friday when he dropped 50 points to help secure a win over the Washington Wizards.

Pelicans star CJ McCollum says that he isn't concerned about being involved in trade rumors, detailing how he loves the city of New Orleans.

New Orleans is currently over the luxury tax and has a weighty decision to make on the future of Brandon Ingram, who will be an unrestricted free agent next summer. The Pelicans reportedly have been open to discussing trades with various players on the team,

The Pelicans are prepared to engage in talks surrounding their guard CJ McCollum after a disastrous start to the season.

The New Orleans Pelicans will face off against the Washington Wizards at 6:00 p.m. ET on Sunday at Capital One Arena. The Pelicans are no doubt hoping to put an end to a 15-game streak of away losses.

They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead the Wizards 60-45. If the Pelicans keep playing like this, they'll bump their record up to 7-29 in no time. On the other hand, the Wizards will have to make due with a 6-27 record unless they turn things around (and fast).

CJ McCollum highlighted a career high-tying 50 points with 10 3-pointers, and the New Orleans Pelicans snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 132-120 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

The New Orleans Pelicans are one of the worst teams in the NBA. Despite that, they may be buyers before the NBA Trade Deadline.
