Rockets want to trade 4th pick for win now vet might be interested in Zion

It makes sense for Zion to go play for Portland. Lillard will be all for it.

 

I think for NOLA's sake, they just want to have some control. If they stick it out with Zion then it's a harder pill to swallow.

 

Pelicans Believed To Be More Open To Trading Zion Williamson Than Brandon Ingram

The New Orleans Pelicans are interested in trading up to draft Scoot Henderson and any deal would almost certainly require the inclusion of either Zion Williamson or Brandon Ingram.

A source tells Marc Stein that the Pelicans would consider trading Williamson if it meant they could draft Henderson. The position could mean the Pelicans are broadly at the point where Williamson is no longer untouchable. Williamson has dealt with injury issues throughout his career that could be traced to a lack of commitment to his conditioning. Williamson is entering Year 1 of a five-year, $194.3 million extension.

Stein adds that the Pelicans appear to be "less inclined to consider trading Brandon Ingram" in a deal for Henderson.

In order for the Pelicans to trade up for Henderson, they would have to agree to a trade with either the Charlotte Hornets at No. 2 or Portland Trail Blazers at No. 3. A source tells Stein they don't believe the Hornets would risk taking on Williamson.

 

I asked you a question.

You said they were considering it.

How do you know that?

 

Please trade the #4 pick, everyone after the first 3 picks is not a game changer.

 

I was waiting for Luka to shake loose, lmao.

Matter of time, eternity.

 

I don't give 2 whops whether you ask anything.

You can believe it or not....

I'm sorry. I thought you might have some inside info. You come across like you do. My bad.

 

Combining what Nook posted and what I perceive (well, many people perceive), Zion Williamson just doesn't seem into basketball. Or New Orleans (hey, great to visit, but to live?)

I remember a few years back at the NFL Combine. Some scout mentioned to one of the prospects that he needed to commit to shedding weight (fat weight, of course). Then he saw the same player at breakfast the next day wolfing down pancakes. The scout shared the information with other scouts and whomever and the player's stock dropped.

Zion kinda seems like that sort of dude. Phenomenal talent but indifferent to conditioning or whatever that extra little something is.

And a shame! Nimble, can score, pass, board.

 

Lol. Zion showing up in shape is like Harden

Doesn't matter if its both. They're still not worth a 2 pick. Street clothes Ingram or out of shape Zion.

 

He's a clown don't believe anything that comes from him

Waaayyy too many BRIGHT RED flags to pick up that contract for #4.

Any pick at #4 is a gamble as to how much better they will make us - but it’s not a team crippling gamble. Zion could (and as I see it - would) cripple the Rockets cap issues until 2028.

 

No thanks. I'll take what is behind door number 4.

 

I do not want Zion. Please avoid at all costs.

 

Interesting but health and weight…so naw

 

Gumbo in Houston is pretty good. No to Zion

 

I’d rather try to get Ingram
