    Zion Williamson Trade Rumors: Pelicans Never Had 'Serious' Talks About Moving Star

    The New Orleans Pelicans appear to be committed to Zion Williamson despite trade rumors involving the 2019 No. 1 overall pick this summer. New Orleans never had "serious" talks about moving Williamson following the 2022-23 season, according to ESPN's Andrew Lopez. Williamson had been included in numerous trade rumors leading up to the 2023 NBA draft. The Athletic and Stadium's Shams Charania reported on June 12 that the Pelicans were "seriously pursuing" a trade for the No. 2 or No. 3 overall pick with eyes toward selecting Scoot Henderson, which fueled speculation about Williamson's future in New Orleans.
