Montrezl Harrell (@Montrezl Harrell) is going to wear No. 8. He said he went through about 6 numbers and ultimately settled on that number because of Kobe Bryant. The tragic accident happened on Harrell’s birthday and it’s his way to pay homage. pic.twitter.com/NB83ajzkdy – 6:54 PM

Kupchak on the Hornets trade deadline
“We have to be careful not to bring on salaries…We’ve got to plan for other players that we like on our team that at some point will be free agents and be eligible for an extension. That was a big part of our approach” pic.twitter.com/Mpy8RncYfX – 6:16 PM

Dwane Casey said he can’t speak on the Marvin Bagley trade until he passes his physical.
(This doesn’t mean the Pistons are afraid he won’t pass his physical). – 5:47 PM

#Pistons Dwane Casey says the Marvin Bagley III trade isn’t official until the physicals are done. – 5:46 PM

Rod Boone @rodboone
Montrezl Harrell is here. James Borrego said he will come off the bench tonight. James Bouknight is also going to get a lot of burn tonight, too. Montrezl’s arrival also means PJ Washington will play more power forward. – 5:42 PM

Lindy Waters III said he first attended a NBA game as an OKC Hornets game. He said he also came to thunder games when KD, Russ, and Harden ran the show.
Same, Lindy. – 4:42 PM

“[@Montrezl Harrell] plays with a great deal of energy and passion. That goes a long way on the court, in the locker room. He’s one of the elite finishers in the NBA, a very good rebounder, particularly a very good offensive rebounder.”

#Bulls with their shaky defense had gone over in seven straight until Charlotte. Total in that game was 237.5, highest of season for Bulls. Tonight’s total is 241 – 1:55 PM

Marvin Bagley III (trade pending) is listed as OUT tonight. Cade Cunningham (right hip pointer) is questionable. – 1:34 PM
