Zion Williamson has played at an All-NBA level since returning from his hamstring injury in January. Williamson’s future with the New Orleans Pelicans was unclear while he was out given his injury history and their place in the Western Conference hierarchy.
“I remember Bobby [Marks] and I wrote a story just as he was about to come back and kind of like ‘What’s coming with Zion?'” said Tim MacMahon on The Hoop Collective Podcast. “What the trade value and market might be for him.
“Somebody told us then the goal is to ramp him up and restore his value whether that’s for the Pelicans or another team. And he’s handling the first part, to his credit, he is absolutely handling the first part.”
“I still don’t know how much they can actually get for him based on his injury history,” replied Brian Windhorst.
“There’s some teams that would have significant interest,” said MacMahon.
