Why The New Orleans Pelicans Do The Deal - Zion Williamson's career has been hampered by injuries, and despite being fit this year, his output has dropped dramatically. Concerns have also been expressed regarding his compatibility with Brandon Ingram, since both like to operate on the floor rather than from the three-point line. The Pelicans may prefer Brandon Ingram, and Jonathan Kuminga, a potentially outstanding defender, may improve his fit beside him. The Warriors should consider parting ways with their young forward.

Why The Golden State Warriors Do The Deal - New Orlean Pelicans star Zion Williamson may face challenges in Golden State due to his hesitancy to shoot threes. Stephen Curry, the best shooter of all time, could be a threat alongside Zion Williamson. The Warriors may also be happy to get rid of Andrew Wiggins' contract, as he had a disappointing season. This deal could improve the team's financial situation and clear Zion Williamson's path to stardom.
