Zion has been stuck in New Orleans for way too long. Why not send him to LA?
Why the Pelicans do this:
This move clears up significant cap space for New Orleans in the summer of 2027 and also adds depth to a team that could be pretty good this year built around Trey Murphy.
Why the Clippers do this:
LA needs a star, especially without their picks. Zion can be the number one option here. Reuniting him with Ingram and adding Garland makes this a relatively solid Clippers roster in a very weak West.
