Why The New Orleans Pelicans Do The Deal
Arguably, all Williamson needs is a fresh start. By now, there’s got to be frustration within this organization about his health. That frustration could impact Williamson’s mental state.
A divorce may be best for both parties involved here.
Perhaps that’s why it’s being reported that the Pelicans are interested in Scoot Henderson. Of course, that’s a barrier in this deal – the Pelicans probably can’t turn the fourth pick into Henderson.
Unless they can, of course. Unlike the Rockets, the Pelicans have an excess of draft capital moving forward. Perhaps they could expand this deal to include the Charlotte Hornets.

Alternatively, the Pelicans could simply be tired of dealing with Williamson’s body and ready to move on.
No matter how excited they were to land the first overall pick when he was in the draft.
