There are trade rumors around the New Orleans Pelicans’ star forward, Zion Williamson, reported first on ClutchPoints.
The NBA trade season is officially kicking off. Now, a star is leaving the only team he’s ever played for. The next trade could be the New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson in a potential deal with the Chicago Bulls. It is essential to monitor this deal closely. Now that all concerned parties are inching closer to the trade deadline.
According to Brett Siegel from ClutchPoints, the Bulls have enough to acquire the services of Zion Williamson. Here is what Siegel said in a broadcast on X.
“They have assets and expiring deals to really get involved wherever they want at this trade deadline. Keep a close eye on them, maybe pursuing Zion Williamson from the Pelicans. I’ve heard that there’s been some smoke there about Chicago scouting New Orleans in recent weeks, and Zion would be the ideal buy-low candidate for a team like the Bulls, who have a lot of expiring contracts.”
Now, it will be interesting to see whether the Bulls try to get the services of Zion Williamson in this year’s trade window, because he is mentioned as a player who could be heading to a new team. Just wait and see what happens with Williamson.
Besides Williamson, their top trade asset is Trey Murphy III. It is speculated that the Pelicans will also listen to offers for Trey Murphy III. However, to acquire Murphy III, a team has to pay a steep price. This is because the Pelicans’ GM is in no hurry to part ways with one of the top shooters in the league.
Nonetheless, the Pelicans will be busy at the end of the trade deadline. They can either trade Williamson or Herb Jones. It is reported that many teams are also interested in Herb Jones. Jones is one of the best players who averages 9.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 steals per game.
