![]() ![]() He’s barely over 20 fantasy points and only has 12 points and three rebounds so far through three quarters. UPDATE, Third Quarter: Zion is still cold as ice. Zion is only up to 19 points and continues to struggle with only 30 DKFP. Luka is up to a triple-double and is over 70 DKFP. UPDATE, OT: This game is going to a second OT and Doncic is having a ball game. Zion had one of his worst games since the All-Star break. Doncic had one of his best games since the All-Star break. So as you can see, two pretty different stat lines for the young stars. Zion Williamson stats - 21 points, six rebounds, three assists - 32 DKFP Luka Doncic stats - 30 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists - 73.25 DKFP While he's far from a perfect star, Randle has been the Knicks' best player since Carmelo Anthony's prime and helped take them to the second round of the playoffs this year.UPDATE, FINAL: So the Mavericks were able to edge the Pelicans in OT in this one, winning 127-123 in the first meeting between Zion Williamson and Luka Doncic. The Knicks would be making a sizable bet on Williamson staying healthy and realizing his potential. That would give them the flexibility to turn around and make a second trade to revamp the roster.Ī trade to New York would pair Williamson with his college teammate, RJ Barrett, and allow him to play in a high-profile market. Randle and Williamson work as a one-for-one match in terms of salary, and the Knicks could throw in a couple future first-round picks without emptying their asset coffers. The Knicks are desperate for a superstar, have a boatload of future first-round picks at their disposal and have an All-Star forward in Julius Randle who has fallen out of favor with fans. This is the one where we throw all rumors out the window and have some fun. Having a building block like Williamson is a great start-even with Portland's unfortunate history with oft-injured (but talented) big men. Lillard would only be 34 next summer and still command the type of star-level trade package that could shift the long-term outlook of the franchise. If the Blazers were able to acquire Williamson, they could try out the pairing next season and then pivot to a Zion-centric rebuild if it doesn't work out. Williamson is also a good basketball fit for the Hornets' general need for a scoring big man who can defend multiple positions. Injury issues are a massive concern for both Ball and Williamson, but the games they're healthy and on the floor together would shatter social media. The alley-oops alone would make the Lob City Clippers look like the 1950s Boston Celtics. ![]() Hayward would mostly be used for salary-matching purposes, but he's also a quality role player, albeit a wildly overpaid one.įrom a basketball perspective, this would pair one of the game's most explosive leapers in Williamson with one of the sport's most creative and best passers in LaMelo Ball. 2 pick to New Orleans for Williamson in a heartbeat. 2 pick.Ĭharlotte would send Gordon Hayward and the No. If the Pelicans are so high on Henderson they're willing to make Williamson the centerpiece of a trade package, there's only one way to do it: Make a deal with the Hornets and land the No. Here's a look at potential destinations should the Pelicans decide to make a blockbuster. That said, the fact this rumor hasn't been scoffed at is evidence of how far Williamson's star has fallen due to injuries. ![]()
