A fan blog citing ClutchPoints reports Golden State has contacted the Pelicans, Bulls and Bucks about trading his contract. The same report says the Warriors are expected to trade him by December 16.

Suns beat Rockets 102-99 in a clutch-time win in Phoenix, according to SB Nation's recap.
SB Nation and Bright Side of the Sun, both fan blogs, call it a statement win over a Houston team that swept the season series last year, and they credit the Suns' energy and defensive intensity. Bright Side of the Sun's recap lists the final as 102-98, so the margin is reported inconsistently. The Dream Shake, a Rockets fan blog, reports Minnesota beat Houston 117-107 on Nov. 4, with Alperen Sengun posting a triple-double.
