Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily, presented by Amazon Prime for January 7th.

I'm Dave DeFora.

Here with Zena Keda.

Coming up, Wembe's back, but it didn't matter.

The Grizzly stole one.

We're going to talk about that a little bit.

And we got Josh Robbins to talk about the wizards improved play as as of late and whether or not they're

going to trade for tray young good morning everybody what's up zina what up dave how are you

i'm not bad not bad um you know You know, we had some games last night. I'm not going to say we had like great matchups going in. You know, I wasn't super excited. Although Lakers Pelicans wound up being a little bit more entertaining than I maybe anticipated. Absolutely. Lakers picking up a win when it looked like they were going to going to lose. Pelicans led for most of that game. And then, you know, LeBron's going to LeBron. Luca, definitely lucid. They cleaned it up at the end of the game for sure. Yeah, Trey Murphy had a 20 point quarter, which feels like, hey, please trade for me. Get me out of here. Get me out of a playoff team.

But the funny part was, is if you were listening to that game and listening to their

announcers, you would have thought that they were making the opposite case.

Like, look at this connection that Trey Murphy has with Derek Queen, who by the way,

almost got a triple double.

Like he's continuing the Derek Queen rookie saga that he's been on just being phenomenal.

But yeah, no, it is, it's clear that New Orleans does not want to lose Trey Murphy.

But that's okay.

I think a lot of teams are very happy with wherever he ends up, him being an option on their

trade deadline board.

Yeah.

Okay.

Let's swing it to Memphis because the Grizzlies, it was health night in Memphis.

And the Grizzlies didn't have John Morant.
