While they’ve been patient enough with Zion Williamson, the New Orleans Pelicans may be looking to pull the plug on him soon.
IL Pelicans of New Orleans they have been patient enough with Sion Williamson. And few people could deny that it is one of most spectacular players to watch in the NBA when he’s healthy.
But his health and weight they’ve been major issues since entering the league, and some believe it’s only a matter of time — or a good trade package — before the Pelicans give up.
Considering that, Zach Buckley, analista NBA di Bleacher Report put together an attractive trade offer that would send him to the Detroit Pistons for a more than decent return.
NBA rumors: Pistons could land Zion Williamson
(tramite Bleacher Report)
“Detroit Pistons receive: Zion Williamson and Kira Lewis Jr.
The New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Bojan Bogdanović, James Wiseman, Killian Hayes, 2026 first-round pick (top three protected) and 2028 first-round pick
Should Williamson finally remain healthy, after making just 114 appearances in his first four seasons, he could help launch Detroit in the Eastern Conference standings. Between Williamson and Cade Cunningham, who has hinted at a turnaround in his stint with the Select Team, the Pistons could have the next dynamic duo in the league.
(…)
Range could be a struggle, and defense would be an uncertainty, but no one could question the club’s talent and advantage.
New Orleans, meanwhile, should simply exit the Williamson business, since its commercial value isn’t exactly at its peak. Also, if the Pels aren’t convinced that its availability issues are going away, they may want to take what they can get now and avoid the risk of it becoming costly damaged goods in the future.
For someone who has played as little as Williamson, this is a welcome return.”
The Pelicans have been reluctant to do so part ways with their previous first overall pick. But truth be told, they may never find a better exchange offer for him, as it involves too much risk.
