NBA Rumors: The name of Zion Williamson had been linked to trade rumors, especially during the 2023 Draft, when there was talk of a possible exchange for Scoot Henderson. Even this year, there was speculation about David Griffin, former head of basketball operations, being willing to entertain offers. However, Dumars' arrival seems to have turned the situation around.
"I've had very good conversations with Zion. We've had lunch, dinner, watched playoff games together. We've done it all. And we've had honest, direct chats," Dumars explained. "We are moving forward with Zion. He will continue to be a focal point for us."
The new executive also justified his decision for Williamson to publicly represent the team at the recent draft lottery in Chicago. "I sent him to the lottery for a reason. I want him to start focusing on the responsibilities that come with being the team's best player and leader. There are responsibilities that come with that. Let him represent his organization," he stated.
