Given Zion Williamson has battled injuries since he was the NBA's first overall pick in 2019, there's speculation the New Orleans Pelicans want to move on from him. Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin told SiriusXM NBA Radio Williamson's name has not come up in any trade discussions. "We never had a single [trade] conversation that Zion was part of. I think people perceived that we would be willing to move off of Zion because of all the injuries, because there’s always so much noise around Zion," Griffin said. So, unfortunately for Zion, he’s just an oddity and somebody that people pay a great deal of attention to and manufacture a lot of stories around."
