The New Orleans Pelicans pursued a trade for Scoot Henderson, but never offered Zion Williamson in any scenario, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers were widely reported to be resistant to any trade offers for the No. 2 and No. 3 picks.
"I could not find a general manager who was offered Zion Williamson," said Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski also reported that Williamson has been around the Pelicans' practice facility this offseason more than he has in the past. The Pelicans continue to plan to build around Williamson.
