NBA Trade Rumors: Exploring three potential league-shifting Zion Williamson trade ideas for the New Orleans Pelicans.
The New Orleans Pelicans could be ready to shake up their franchise. With eyes on Scoot Henderson, who will likely end up being a top 3 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the Pelicans are reportedly at least open to the idea of trading Zion Williamson if it meant landing Scoot.
With the NBA Draft just a few days away, it’s clear that the Pelicans have some very big questions to ask about its future. The biggest being, do they see Zion as a big part of their franchise?
That can be complicated. When healthy, he’s one of the most dominating players in the league. The fact that he’s missed 60 percent of the game he’s been eligible to play in the NBA makes it much more complicated than it should be. Thus, it opens the door to the potential for a trade.
