Pelicans unlikely to trade Zion Williamson before draft
From there, speculation about Zion Williamson’s future with the Pelicans has run rampant. There have been new reports from different sources daily about the likelihood of Zion being on the move and the level of interest New Orleans would have in making such a deal. Ultimately, Zion getting traded before Thursday’s draft is fairly unlikely, multiple league sources tell The Athletic.

“The biggest question surrounding all this hysteria shouldn’t be how likely the Pelicans are to trade Zion. It should be why the discussion has been allowed to linger as long as it has”
So, what’s really going on with all these Zion/Pelicans rumors?

Zion and Ingram games played together:
2019-20: 22 games
2020-21: 59 games
2021-22: 0 games
2022-23: 12 games
They have played 93 games together in 4 seasons. 12 since Willie Green became HC.
If the duo gets broken up, feels like Pels fans are always gonna think what if? – 2:30 PM

More on this storyline
The Pelicans have been enamored with Henderson for quite a while. They were able to see plenty of him while reviewing tape of his former G League Ignite teammate Dyson Daniels, who New Orleans took with the No. 8 overall pick in last year’s draft. But to this point, the Pelicans have yet to even include Williamson in any formal offers made to the teams holding top-3 picks, league sources tell The Athletic. -via The Athletic / June 20, 2023
Much of that tension is centered around the frayed relationship between Williamson’s camp and Aaron Nelson, who has been in charge of the medical/training staff during Zion’s first four seasons. In a shakeup first reported by NOLA.com, Nelson is no longer expected to lead the Pelicans’ medical/training staff this upcoming season. -via The Athletic / June 20, 2023
On Twitter, Mills threatened to release her alleged “sex tapes” with Williamson. She then encouraged the Pelicans to part ways with the superstar, especially amid the trade rumors linking him with a potential move to the Portland Trail Blazers or Charlotte Hornets. “NBA I have sex tapes of me and Zion Williamson and he also has them on his trap phone. [NBA], [Pelicans] trade him now he doesn’t deserve to be in New Orleans !!! Sex tapes dropping soon,” Mills wrote on Twitter. -via Clutch Points / June 20, 2023
