MARKET WATCH: Zion Williamson Might Not Have ELITE Value For New Orleans Pelicans, But There Is SOME
Zion Williamson’s uncertain future puts the New Orleans Pelicans at a crossroads—can his non-guaranteed contract help the team regain flexibility, or are they stuck with an oft-injured star? Trade rumors swirl as discussions center on realistic return packages, possible fits with the Sacramento Kings, and the potential pitfalls of swapping for another injury-prone player like LaMelo Ball. The spotlight is on how front office strategy and salary structure could shape the Pelicans’ path forward.

Value is low, need to get him healthy and ship out for all star break….if he isn't out for the season.
Hi Dylan ,
Fears and DQ give me so much hope. Ship Zion, and even hawk if we have to. Need another lockdown defender for when herb isnt on the floor. Maybe Dejounte coming back will be good in the defense department. Zion for some picks would be awesome, maybe like 2027s.
It’s hard to call a 6-7 year track record luck. Seems destiny… not durable enough for pro ball
No
I’ll trade Zion for a 2 piece and a biscuit from Popeyes with a Diet Coke. Nobody will trade for a risk with no reward 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
This is what I dislike about the reports for the Pelicans. They allow JB to say that they have been practicing end of game scenarios without asking why or if they were practicing that with Willie Green. It’s a total pass by the media
To make a trade happen Zion’s reps will have to get the word out that he has been faking injuries to get out of N.O. As maddening as that is, it’s been done before and succeeded in the NBA, particularly with the Pelicans, with their consent. It’s why they’re the league’s laughingstock.
Zion injuries are most definitely an issue. But DJM, Herb, Poole, Missi, Karlo? Gotta find ways to be healthy. How about better shooting coaches and training. Perhaps this fast running system? Please don't pretend this is all on Zion.
No one has ever Oschner Sports Medicine has failed to recover key players for either Pels or Saints? Jordan Poole, Dejunte, Zion all gone. Michael Thomas went from a top 3 WR to out of the leauge!!!! We need better internal operations
Every dayer comment
If we trade Zion we gotta go to either Utah for ace, picks and salary or Washington for tre Johnson, picks and salary. I’m pulling for Washington and tre Johnson
What’s his value? Trade him for a pallet of fertilizer bags to assist in building a flower garden outside of the Smoothie King Center.
Waive Zion. Free up the cap for new young players, not old ones. Nobody with common sense wants a 31 year old Giannis on this team.
Dylan, I can’t tell if you are most gullible and naive person known to man, or you are laughing hysterically inside as you stare into the camera and spew this stuff out for 30 mins each day. Credit to you that 439 people have taken the time to watch this episode. At the very least it’s entertaining …but so was the Jerry Springer show. And Pretty sure my grandma never realized the show was staged though, so maybe half the people watching actually believe what you say
Why does this team get all of the wrong players????
