The Pelicans have entered a full rebuild and Zion Williamson, Dejuonte Murray and Brandon Ingram are all available for trade.

As of right now, the remaining three years of his deal are non-guaranteed. He can help his cause by getting back out there and playing, but I doubt NO wants that with essentially going into tank mode now.

It's worth the gamble for a team as you can always cut back after the season if it doesn't work. so they shouldn't have an issue moving him. What they get in return is another question.
But does the team have an option after every season or is it just this summer? If so, I could see the Ben Simmons idea being an option like an alcoholic pouring all their booze down the drain to remove the temptation (in NO's case, picking up his option this summer).

I don't believe this report.

they keep getting quality hauls AND #1 picks to follow man :mjlol: im not even petty in sports like that but nola can hold that entire curse fr

"Quality hauls"

For AD
  • Brandon Ingram (blood clots; injury prone; 1 All-Star)
  • Lonzo Ball (couldn't shoot and finish at the rim)
  • Josh Hart (barely a 6th man)
  • Three first-round picks
  • One pick swap
For CP
  • Eric Gordon
  • Chris Kaman
  • Al-Farouq Aminu
  • Draft pick that turned to Austin Rivers
Granted, there are no fair trades for franchise talent...c'mon, breh.

Only we are allowed to shyt on our team

We got two #1 picks in ten years (AD was 2012 and Zion was 2019), it wasn't that crazy given that we were ass after AD left and Boogie got hurt. Same thing when Chris left, but, three times as worst.

As of right now, it’s an an option after every season considering he can’t stay on the floor.

The remaining two years of the deal get fully guaranteed next season though if it’s able to play 60 games and maintain his weight.
