Demarcus Cousins Says Pelicans Should Trade Zion Williamson

Former NBA player Demarcus Cousins believes the New Orleans Pelicans should trade Zion Williamson to a team that prioritizes health and fitness, like the Miami Heat. Cousins argues that Williamson's injury history could cost the Pelicans their GM job and that a change of scenery might be best for his development.

The New Orleans Pelicans ' 5-22 record is the worst in the Western Conference. After last season's 49-win mark, the Pelicans may already be thinking about their future and which players align with that vision. A recent report suggested New Orleans is open to trading many core players, except Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, and Yves Missi.

Demarcus Cousins, who played on the Pelicans during his NBA career, gave his thoughts on the Run It Back show on FanDuel TV about the dangerous game of keeping a player like Zion around. “He’s good enough to get you fired…If I’m a GM. I’m moving on and making it somebody else’s responsibility.” 😳
