Zion Williamson went from being the most hyped prospect after LeBron, to a potential bust. It seems that the New Orleans Pelicans aren’t willing to wait for him anymore, and there is plenty of talks that they might decide to trade the massive power forward.
Before Betting on Zion Williamson Next Team
The top pick from the 2019 NBA Draft was projected to be a game-changer that would shift the balance of power in the league. If it weren’t for his injuries, that would probably happen because Williamson played only 114 games in the NBA for the past four campaigns. His average is excellent, 25.8 points with seven boards in 32 minutes, .605% FG.
Though, constant absences, low discipline, and poor rehab are why the Pelicans fans and the front office lose their patience with the 22-year-old. Many of them wonder what would happen in the latter stages of his career if he can’t get out of health troubles now.
Zion Williamson Next Team Offshore Betting Odds
The Trail Blazers are the leading contenders, according to BetOnline.com at +200. The reason for that is the trade assets because Portland has plenty of players who can be included in the deal, including Damian Lillard. The Dame would reunite with his former teammate, CJ McCollum, and another of the reasons why bookies believe this might happen.
Zion Williamson Next Team | Odds |
---|---|
Portland Trail Blazers | 3 |
Charlotte Hornets | 3.25 |
New York Knicks | 5 |
Houston Rockets | 5 |
Utah Jazz | 7 |
Charlotte Hornets are second because they have enough cap space and plenty of assets. They also want to create the young core, with LaMelo Ball at point guard and Zion under the rim.
New York Knicks were in the mix back in 2019 to make a trade that would see them picking first. The Knicks fans are crazy for Zion and they pressure the organization to chase the big fella.
Houston is on the list with the same odds as New York, while Utah Jazz, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Oklahoma City Thunder go next.
