Brian Windhorst: The Pelicans have had some cursory discussions. From what I’ve been told, there haven’t been any offers made necessarily yet, but it makes you really not take too far of a leap to wonder… The league is certainly wondering if the Pelicans are going to make for the first time truly Zion Williamson available ahead of next week’s draft.

I wonder if a team that's already likely making the playoffs would be willing to trade for him and only use him towards the end of the season for the playoffs. I guess there'd be chemistry issues.

It's insane both that Zion is on the market at all, and that there isn't really a good estimate on what his value is. Whatever team winds up with him gets a player who was the undisputed first pick of his draft class and had been hailed as the future of the NBA, but also an incredibly fragile player who's playstyle requires him to be physical.

Seems like one of the biggest gamble trades in a long time.
