Intriguing Update On New Orleans Pelicans Superstar

 

We knew coming into this NBA off-season that there would be plenty of player movement and potentially star movement, and after Bradley Beal was traded to Phoenix to kick things off, the flood gates could reportedly be opening.

According to NBA personality Bill Simmons, there are many people around the league that believe New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson will not be with the team anymore by Thursday's draft, and with New York, Portland and others being linked to the former No. 1 overall pick, there's plenty of interest and intrigue there.

People around the league expect the Pelicans to move Zion Williamson by Thursday, per @BillSimmons

When healthy, Williamson has been a star since joining the NBA back in 2019, but unfortunately, that good health has been scarce, leading to his value dropping around the league, but if he can thrive in a new environment, we could be looking at one of the leagues biggest stars.
