There’s a new Zion Williamson rumor with the New Orleans Pelicans everyday it seems. Jake Madison looks at what Bill Simmons said to see if there is any truth to a potential trade. Then he looks at the impact of Bradley Beal’s trade to the Phoenix Suns on the Pels and thinks it could actually make New Orleans want to be more competitive. Could that mean the Pels go and get Fred VanVleet or Damian Lillard? Kristaps Porzingis?

A message has been sent to Zion, BI, and even Dyson. The message from the Pelicans to Zion and BI is that they question their dependability. The message to Dyson is that he needs to step up this season if he wants to stick around. The message to Zion and BI from the league is that they're not as highly valued as one would think. No one is willing to do a one-for-one trade for them.
Hopefully this will inspire all three, Zion, BI, and Dyson to play harder, more consistently, and be in better health and condition this upcoming season.
Can we talk about Zion Wiliams trade for Tobias Harris?
Please free him and trade him
NOLA PELICANS HEALTH PLEASE!!
Starting today, I think this would be my algorithm-helping comment for every Locked on Pels video. 😂
Ja has 25 game suspension
Trade Zion please
I think the best thing the pels can do is keep everyone on the roster but also take that chance in the luxury tax and go for another star player .. I think that’s the best way to go
Trade Zion for Scoot and Build around Bi
The Pels are just one bench scorer away from winning the Chip. They have a solid starting 5 even with injuries. If you watched the same games I watch last year, the Pels could have and should have won a lot more games then they did. The bench couldn't score, and the rotations suck. One more 12 pt scorer and we in the finals.
“Don’t half ass it” is the best message for the team regardless of what they do. If you believe that Zion and BI are a championship duo, do everything you can to make it work without hesitation.
I’m ok with trading Zion but only if we get JVs replacement back in the trade along with #2. Mark Williams is that guy and I’d even give up #14 to get him back with Scoot at #2.
Comment for the algorithm
Pelicans need to make a move with the knicks to acquire Mitchell Robinson. Jonas and Lakers 2024 pick for Robinson. We need a defensive prescence and young athletic big man and thats Mitch
Y’all dumb ass people need to open y’all eyes and see who really needs to get traded is CJ McCollum 💯
And the other problem is our broke ass owner 💯
Might as well say Pelicans are moving, because of the market
Jake they have bets Zion Will NOT be on the team come Thursday please say it aint so!!!
The New Orleans Pelicans would be silly fools if they gave up Zion Williamson for anything other than the #1 pick and an All-Star player b/c at the end of the day he was himself a #1 pick and an All-Star player. But, we all know that won't happen. They should not even entertain trading Brandon Ingram unless they are talking about the # 2 pick and an All-Star player b/c once again he's a former # 2 pick and an All-Star player. If teams not offering that value, they are just wasting the Pels time and are not serious!!! Anything less would be just like swapping out a million dollar home for a $500K value home! You just got the shaft, and the raw end of that deal b/c you just left another $500K on the table.
Man Benson needs to sale this team exhibit A the arena exhibit B the luxury tax exhibit C the jerseys this owner does not deserve a team in the NBA she is 🗑️
His source was Moriah, she was going hard on Twitter about trading him today 😂 JK but we gonna run it back one more year
We need to trade Zion. Zion fans just don’t want him to leave NOLA. We have to let him go, he’s a liability. Brandon Ingram is our star and we should be thankful.
Let’s just say your girlfriend tell you that she wants to be with you. However, every single action she does suggest otherwise. You wanna have sex she doesn’t feel good. She doesn’t particularly enjoy hanging out with you. She prefers to hang out with other people. In fact, she says, if she wasn’t in a relationship, she definitely knows where else she would be. How hard is it to see that that girl doesn’t want to be with you?
