Tommy Beer: Lozno Ball has been awful offensively this season… Just how incredibly inefficient, you ask? Ball is on pace to become just the second player in NBA history to log more than 30 minutes per game and shoot: * Below 40% from the floor * Below 30% on 3PT’s and * Below 60% on FT’s – via Twitter TommyBeer
Feb. 6: most players who signed free-agent contracts in the offseason can begin to be traded. A team that is expected to be prominent in the trade market picture, rival teams expect: The New Orleans Pelicans. The franchise is off to an uneven 5-10 start to the season. New Orleans has been receiving calls about the availability of Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick and has shown an openness to discussing trades around both with interested teams, sources tell The Athletic. A move would create a clearer pathway for young guards Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis in the Pelicans’ rotation. – via Shams Charania @ The Athletic
