The timing could not be worse for Zion. The NBA landscape is changing quickly. While some teams are looking to finagle into the draft to pick up prospects. While others are looking to trade and ramp up their roster. The Pelicans are looking to do both.
The name that has popped up recently is Zion Williamson. It looks like his time with NOLA is coming to an end.
Bill Simmons makes an astounding claim that Zion Williamson will be out of New Orleans by Thursday
So, what is momentous on Thursday? The 2023 NBA Draft, of course. And according to analyst Bill Simmons, Zion will be out of NOLA.
As per a lot of rumors, it is true. Zion is not being valued like he was long ago. And despite being an all-star last year, he played only 29 games. Patience is running out for New Orleans. They feel like they have invested too much time and with the swirl of rumors, they would be wise to cut bait.
The depth of talent available in this current NBA draft means that there is an opportunity at every turn. Pelicans want to be smart about it and try their run once more.
Simmons said on his podcast that his source has already reported that Zion won’t feature. And while he may be under a huge $194,300,000 contract, it would be hard for any suitors to take up a chance on him.
Bill Simmons saying that a reliable source informed him Zion will no longer be on the Pelicans come Thursday.
