"According to Joe Cowley, the Bulls recently made another call to the Pelicans, expressing interest in former No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson. Chicago has reportedly been in consistent contact with the Pels over the last couple of weeks, inquiring about both Zion and Yves Missi. New Orleans hasn't shown much interest in "selling", at least not to the Bulls, but that hasn't stopped Chicago from being relentless and almost single-minded in its pursuit of the former Duke Blue Devil."
"Zion Williamson is in the middle of one of his best-and healthiest-seasons since entering the league. He was one of the most hyped prospects the NBA has ever seen, and yet we've never truly watched him spread his wings because of the sheer amount of time he's spent injured. This season, he's played 35 games and has suited up for 25 straight-tied for the longest consecutive stretch of his career and a mark he'll comfortably pass."
With two days remaining until the trade deadline, the Chicago Bulls have intensified calls to the New Orleans Pelicans, repeatedly inquiring about Zion Williamson and Yves Missi. New Orleans has shown little interest in selling to Chicago, yet the Bulls continue relentless pursuit. Chicago lacks a true superstar and views Williamson's resurgent, healthier season—35 games played and a 25-game consecutive stretch—as a rare opportunity. Williamson, a former No. 1 overall pick and one of the most hyped prospects, remains a dominant interior force at age 25. The Bulls aim to pair him with young pieces like Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis and emulate the Pacers' recent blueprint.
