Summary
The New Orleans Pelicans chose Zion Williamson as their representative for the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery, signaling their ongoing commitment to him despite trade rumors. New front office head Joe Dumars aims to solidify Williamson as the franchise player, even as the offseason approaches. Williamson has three years and $126.5 million left on his max extension, which includes protections due to his injury history, and these protections would transfer if he were traded.
