The talk about the New Orleans Pelicans trading Zion Williamson seems to be continuing.
Despite conflicting reports about whether the Pels want to deal him or not, the truth is this is something New Orleans should consider, as we wrote recently. His value may not get higher than it is now.
So you know what that means: NBA fans everywhere are flocking to their favorite trade machine site and trying to put together a deal that would make sense for a Williamson landing spot.
What did they come up with? Glad you asked. Here are some of the wild trade machine trades we saw as the rumors continue to swirl:

I think the Pelicans can get more here.

Zion to the Rockets
What’s unfolding on social media unfortunate, embarrassing for Zion.
But, I don’t think it’s enough for #Pelicans to shop Z in trades.
HE’S GENERATIONAL 🏀 MVP-CALIBER TALENT!
But if teams call, NOLA listens.
Possible deals:

That’s WAY too much for the Rockets to give up.
