The status of Zion Williamson as a star of the New Orleans Pelicans has been wavering over the years, to the point where, today, he finds himself in his most delicate situation. In fact, it is said that in the NBA market, his value is very low.
The current situation of Zion Williamson and the Pelicans is once again sparking debate throughout the NBA. The Louisiana franchise has strung together two consecutive victories after a disappointing season start of 0-6, but the fact that those wins have come without Zion in the lineup has reignited questions about the player's real impact and his future within the project.
Williamson is currently out of action due to a hamstring injury, a situation that has once again raised doubts about his durability and his ability to lead the team long-term. In this context, several analysts and executives around the league are beginning to wonder if it is time for New Orleans to seriously consider a trade to reconfigure their roster.

A plummeting market value
However, the reality is that Zion's market value is at its lowest point since entering the NBA. Despite his undeniable talent and flashes of greatness when at his best, recurrent injuries and doubts about his physical condition have deteriorated his perception in the league.
"To be honest, if New Orleans makes a move now, it would be to win now, not to trade Zion," explained an executive from a rival team. "His market value is not where you would expect, and the organization is under pressure to compete."
Williamson's contractual situation does not help either. His current deal ties him to the Pelicans until the 2027-28 season, but the next two seasons are not entirely guaranteed. The player can trigger certain guarantees based on weight and percentage of games played clauses from the previous season, conditions he has not consistently met.
