No relationship between Zion Williamson and Pelicans, limited relationship between him and teammates
Brian Windhorst: The Zion Williamson thing is there. At the very least, it is very clear that the Pelicans’ thought on Zion Williamson’s future with the team is evolving. That’s putting it mildly. There is no relationship between Zion and the organization. And minimal relationship between Zion and his teammates, from what I understand.

I think Scoot Henderson is can’t-miss but I don’t get the Pels (reported) interest in moving Zion for No. 2/3 picks. Injuries an issue but Zion is 23 and two years removed from averaging 27 (in 61 games) with a TS% of 65%. And New Orleans was 23-14 last year before he went out.… – 9:57 AM

For those thinking the Hornets trade rumors at #2 are a smokescreen, I can assure you they are not.
In regards to New Orleans, I believe the target would be Brandon Ingram who Kupchak drafted in 2016 with the Lakers.
Personally, I would target Zion – 9:45 AM

I’ve already made it clear that, if I were the Pelicans, I would not trade Zion Williamson.
My consolation prize if they do it is that both Charlotte and Portland are incredible basketball fits if (and it’s a huge if, obviously) he can just stay healthy. – 9:44 AM

Sources: Pelicans are parting ways with assistant coach, Basketball Hall of Famer Teresa Weatherspoon. Weatherspoon has been on staff since 2020, developing a strong rapport with players like Zion Williamson, and turned down other opportunities in hopes of rising in New Orleans. – 4:34 PM

More on this storyline
Brian Windhorst: It’s surprising to me how out there it is in the league that the Pelicans are discussing Zion business. I want to be very careful about the word ‘offer’ because that word is a dangerous word. I’m not sure the Pelicans have ‘offered’ Zion to anybody, but every day that passes over the past five or six days, I hear different discussions the Pelicans have had that implies they are going to make Zion available. Him or Brandon Ingram. I wouldn’t rule out anything I guess, but the events of the last six months with Zion are what they are -via ESPN / June 16, 2023
Marc Stein: And based on what I’m hearing, yes, the Pelicans are legitimately considering… doesn’t mean they would 100 percent do it, but they are considering the prospect of trying to assemble a deal for Charlotte’s No. 2 pick that would feature Zion Williamson. -via Apple Podcasts / June 16, 2023
The New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly been exploring the possibility of trading up in the draft to select Scoot Henderson, which has led to speculation that they are open to moving on from Zion Williamson. ESPN’s Jonathan Givony has been told that the Pelicans are not putting Williamson on the trade block. “I’ve been told New Orleans is not trading Zion,” said Givony on the Zach Lowe Podcast. “And no interest in trading Brandon Ingram. I would be very surprised if anything ended up happening there at two or three. -via RealGM / June 16, 2023
