Jordan Schultz said yesterday he believes Zion will most likely not play the Pelicans again and that he will be traded by the team this summer. Brian Windhorst also pointed out today that Zion sunk to prove that he is recovering well, and that there is a problem with his relationship with the Pelicans. So far in his career, Zion has only played 85 games, and his injury has become a major obstacle to continued rise. If the Pelicans decide to send Zion away, where will he go?
The US media listed Zion's 4 major trading options, including the 76ers, Eagles, Bulls and Grizzlies, of which Zion's discussion of going to the Grizzlies was the most heated.
Scenario 1: 76 people 5 for 1
The specific plan is for the 76ers to send Maxi, Milton, Danny Green, two first rounds, to Get Zion.
After the 76ers get Harden, they can continue to look for a third star and improve the chances of rushing to the championship. The US media believes that the combination of Embiid and Zion will crush other teams in the East. In good health, they will become the most dominant inner line combination in the NBA in recent years. For the Pelicans, Maxi is a team core that can be cultivated, Milton and Green provide outside firepower, and two first-rounders are also good future assets.
Option 2: Eagles 5 for 3
The specific plan is for the Hawks to send John Collins, Jaylen Johnson, Hult and two first-rounders to get Zion, Graham and Nance Jr.
The Hawks have always wanted to find the right star partner for Trae Young, and Collins is reluctant to renew his contract, and it is a good choice to exchange his core chips for Zion. Collins is a good fit for Ingram and McCollum, while the young Zion will be the future of the Eagles interior along with Okongu. Trae Young, who is good at assists, can create better offensive opportunities for Zion.
Scenario 3: Bull 3 for 1
The specific plan was for the Bulls to send Patrick Williams, Kobe Bryant White and a first-round pick to get Zion.
The Bulls made a big move last summer, bringing in players like DeRozan, Ball Brother and Caruso, and he could have made another move this summer, using White, Williams and the first round to buy Zion. Zion can keep the Bulls' talent up and build a more powerful championship lineup, while Williams and White fit the Pelicans' system.
Scenario 4: Grizzlies 4 for 3
The specific plan is for the Grizzlies to send Jackson Jr., Melton, Zaire Williams and a first-rounder for Zion, Graham and Nance Jr.
The Grizzlies had been interested in Zion in the draft and had hoped to choose Zion and Morant at the same time, but the Pelicans turned down the Grizzlies' offer at the time. Zion and Morant have known each other since childhood, and if they play on the same team, their spectacle will take it to a new level. The US media believes that joining forces with Morant may be the best choice for Zion. Jackson Jr.'s defensive ability can help the Pelicans, and Melton is also a very strong defender.
Do you think zion is really likely to be traded away?
