When he entered the draft, Zion Williamson was touted as the next LeBron James, a physical monster who would crush everything in his path. Plagued by injuries, the Pelicans interior is now on the verge of being traded…
Zion Williamson is one of those players who have been making a name for himself on social networks since his teens. It has to be said that, right from high school, this handsome baby was doing some absolutely crazy things on the pitch. Endowed with athletic qualities that he shouldn’t have with his physique, Zion shone thanks to his high-pitched game. In fact, once he arrived at Duke, he proved to his detractors that he could dominate against any opponent.

Zion Williamson ready for the Eastern Conference?
Logically selected with the first pick of the 2019 Draft by the Pelicans, the interior unfortunately failed to confirm the immense expectations placed in him. That’s a pretty crazy observation when you’re talking about a two-time All-Star who averages 24.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his career, all at a 59% shooting success rate.
Not only is Zion Williamson unable to carry his team to victory at the moment, but he also seems to be quite attracted to all the downsides of NBA life. Over the last few years, he’s been involved in numerous intimate affairs with young women and X actresses. Perhaps that’s why the Pelicans could trade him. Greg Swartz of Bleacher Report mentions a very likely destination for Zion:
The Pelicans can no longer depend so much on Zion Williamson’s availability. Averaging 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists is all well and good. But not when it’s only 30 times in a season. His string of injuries and unavailability is a drag on the franchise. Joe Dumars should immediately pick up the phone and find a team willing to bet on Zion’s talent.
That team could be Detroit, which needs to find an offensive solution to help Cade Cunningham. Of all the potential destinations, this makes the most sense. New Orleans needs a fresh start in its rebuild, the Pistons need another star and Zion Williamson needs a change of scenery.
