Pelicans should wait until Zion Williamson returns to make major trades

Offseason expectations set in October are now becoming points of ire for fans of the New Orleans Pelicans fans, as the franchise is on their worst historical stretch as they await the NBA debut of Zion Williamson.

Riding a 12-game losing streak and a 6-21 record that ties the team with the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks for the second-worst record in the league, even the addition of Williamson isn’t going to swing this team into a playoff threat.

Even if they hunt for the eighth seed, their season will end before May of 2020 without an NBA championship ring.
