Shamit Dua: Since it looks like all the rumors are coming true – the final bit of intel have on this whole situation is that ownership will mandate Dumars to keep Willie Green and trade Zion. This is what I have heard. It’s possible the Phoenix situation impacts Willie Green, but this is the plan I am hearing.

The mother of New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson’s young daughter has been arrested for allegedly stalking, threatening and beating another woman romantically linked to the power forward. Police in the exclusive New Orleans suburb of Kenner, Louisiana arrested Ahkeema Love on Monday after she allegedly egged her rival’s home, threatening the woman on social media, and later attacking her at Williamson’s house. Cops say the unnamed victim had lacerations on her face, as reported by WDSU.com. -via Daily Mail / April 9, 2025
The New Orleans Pelicans may want Zion Williamson to stick around, but ESPN’s Shams Charania says the belief around the NBA is that the team and player need to sit down this summer in order for that to happen. “The last thing you want to do is trade Zion Williamson… and he just skyrockets, because he’s able to find help, he’s able to find that maturity, find that growth in his career. They want that to come in New Orleans,” Charania said Wednesday on the Pat McAfee Show. “But, I do believe, and people around the league do believe, both sides have to come together this summer, and figure out exactly what that’s going to look like. Because how it’s going right now, it’s not going to be sustainable for either side.” -via Bleacher Report / April 3, 2025
