Why The New Orleans Pelicans Do The Deal

After all, Williamson was supposed to be a franchise-changing star. When he’s been healthy, he’s looked the part, too. Unfortunately, that’s far too rare of an occurrence. 

Realistically, that’s why they’re taking back a subpar return here. This is not the type of return they’d hope for in exchange for Williamson. What are the Pelicans doing here? Waiving a white flag.

Essentially, this deal has the Pelicans losing faith in Williamson’s body. Again, it’s unlikely they ultimately choose to do so, but it wouldn’t be unjustified.
