Two more superstars were added to the Western Conference as Kyrie Irving was traded to the Mavericks and Kevin Durant joined the Suns.

CJ McCollum thinks that these two trades make the West even more competitive which the Pelicans shooting guard sees as a good thing for the NBA.

Via Marc J. Spears of Andscape:

“The West is definitely insane. I don’t think I’ve seen it like this in a long time. Obviously, we are all reacting to trades, especially the big trade [Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns] that occurred in the West that started the process of teams offering up everything they had under the sun trying to get more competitive and figure out ways to improve roster structure. But it’s good for basketball and it’s good for the sport.”

New Orleans is currently in the seventh place in the West with 30 wins and 28 losses.
