Pelicans can't expect a big return for Zion Williamson

According to a report from HoopsHype published on November 14, 2026, the New Orleans Pelicans are unlikely to receive a significant return if they attempt to trade Zion Williamson. ESPN's Tim MacMahon cited a conversation with an unnamed NBA executive who confirmed that while Williamson is technically tradeable, the market for him would not yield a substantial package in return. The report suggests Williamson's trade value has diminished considerably around the league.
