Trading Zion Williamson More Of An Option Than Trading Brandon Ingram
It has been reported by Marc Stein that the Pelicans could be interested in trading Zion Williamson in hopes of landing Scoot Henderson. Stein reported the deal would have to either include Williamson or Brandon Ingram.
With the team weighing its options, New Orleans would rather trade Williamson than Ingram. It has also been rumored the team would build around Ingram if Zion were to get traded.
Williamson is becoming more and more touchable in the trade market with his recent injuries and commitment history leading to the Pelicans opening up the possibility of trading away the former first-overall pick.
The only team willing to entertain Zion is the Portland Trail Blazers; they currently own the third overall pick. The Charlotte Hornets, per Stein, are not wanting to risk their high draft pick on Zion’s ability to stay healthy.
Williamson is entering his first year of a five-year, $194.3 million extension.
