The trade rumors surrounding Zion Williamson are only getting bigger over the past few days, and it’s not coming out of nowhere.
Following reports that Zion Williamson could potentially be traded away from New Orleans, his deteriorating relationship with his teammates has now been brought to light.
Brian Windhorst of ESPN dropped a bombshell that he has no relationship with the organization and his teammates.
“There is no relationship between Zion and the organization. And minimal relationship between Zion and his teammates, from what I understand.”
“From what I’ve been told, Zion has not been around the team much so far this summer,” Windhorst said on ESPN’s Get Up. “But that is not different from the way he’s operated in the past—that he hasn’t made it a priority to be around the team as much. He’s sort of worked out on his own. What I’d say is that there’s definitely not the type of relationship that you’d like to have between a star player and a team here. And also, he doesn’t have as strong of relationships with his teammates, from what I am told, as you’d like to see. Now, that’s not a prerequisite for success, but as you look to try to build bonds moving forward that is something to consider.”
The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly interested in drafting projected top pick Scoot Henderson, but would have to trade Zion Williamson in order to do so. NOLA “would indeed consider” trading Williamson if it meant they could potential land Scoot in the draft, NBA insider Marc Stein reported on Wednesday.

This new report makes sense when you think about New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard CJ McCollum and what he had to say in response to Williamson’s absence for the play-in game.
“I just do my job, I show up, I play with my son, and be a husband to my wife,” said McCollum. “This is a great job, I really enjoy it but I don’t want to get caught up in that stuff. I stay in my lane, walk my dog and enjoy the sunshine.”
Last week, a social media influencer named Ahkeema announced that she and Zion are expecting a baby–a girl, due Nov. 13, 2023.
However, he would then start to get called out about Adult star Moriah Mills who has been at it ever since. He has not spoken out about it at all.
