The Pelicans are considering selling Williamson to secure the services of Scoot Henderson, according to NBA insiders Marc Stein of Substack and Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Henderson played for Ignite in the G-League last season and is considered a safe top three pick in the 2023 draft by NBA experts.
According to Stein, there are increasingly critical voices within the organization that assume that the 23-year-old cannot lead the team. This is mainly due to his susceptibility to injury and emerging negative headlines.
Recently, statements from a porn actress who claimed that Williamson ruined her life caused a stir. What is curious regarding the claims is that the NBA superstar recently announced that he is becoming a father for the first time.
The Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers, who have the second and third picks in the upcoming draft, are named as possible buyers in a trade.
However, what would speak once morest a separation between the two parties is the contract extension from the summer of 2022. In that offseason, the Pelicans agreed with Williamson on an extension until 2028, with which the 23-year-old will earn 194 million euros.
In four years, the exceptional talent played only 114 times for the team from Louisiana. However, the American has already been voted into the All-Star team twice.
Williamson has already proven that he must be counted among the most influential players. During his NBA career, the child prodigy averaged 25.8 points and seven rebounds with a shot rate of 60 percent.
