Zion Williamson Trade Ideas

[Ed Monix]

Given recent reports on Williamson,

“The Pelicans have repeatedly stressed to Williamson that his diet and conditioning need to improve. Williamson, multiple team sources have told The Times-Picayune, ‘doesn’t listen,'” Clark wrote on December 8.

I thought it would be interesting to discuss (realistic) trade ideas.

FYI, I can’t see Stevens even inquiring about him.

Pelicans: Morant

Grizzlies: Williamson, Murphy III, Lakers 2024 1st round pick (via Pelicans)

Morant could be a realistic trade for Williamson.  Both have issues.  Both teams could imagine that a change of scenery is just what the player needs.  That they would get the player and that player would suddenly realize their for potential for the new team.  Both teams would probably be fooling themselves and neither player would change after the trade.

Not sure the Pels do that one. Great trade for Memphis though.

the last line is both funny and truthful at the same time lol

In theory this trade would bring Zion closer to family & Ja further away from his idiotic local friends (both originally from South Carolina).
