Poison Pill

Zion Williamson is on a rookie contract and signed an extension that is to begin the following season. Therefore, he has what is known as a "poison pill" contract. He can no longer be traded for a player making equal money. Instead, his current salary is averaged along with the salaries he is to receive in his extension, and that average becomes his incoming salary for trade purposes. His outgoing value for the Pelicans will be $13.5M while his incoming value for the receiving team will be $34.3M.

Team Option

Zion Williamson currently has a team option for the Pelicans this season. The Pelicans may decide to decline their option which would make him an unrestricted free agent. You may accept or decline this option, by default it will be accepted. You may also update his contract to perform actions such as a Sign & Trade.

Cap Hold

Jake Layman is currently listed as a cap hold for the Timberwolves this season. Cap holds represent "placeholders" for pending free agents, unsigned draft picks, offer sheets, etc. Cap holds will have no trade value. You may update his contract in order to provide trade value for a Sign & Trade.

You might think this is stupid and dumb and that Zion is a potential MVP candidate.

Yes Yes this is all true but...

Zion is injury prone. It's also true he could very well turn out to be Greg Oden 2.0

So I am thinking ahead instead of having all of Zion's value going to waste in injury why not just trade him while his stock is still up?

Trade him for a solid guard with good 3 point shooting. Herb Jones will fill Zion's role.
