Apparently, they have recently contacted the New Orleans Pelicans for a potential Zion Williamson deal. According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, top executive Arturas Karnisovas also reached out regarding Yves Missi and Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin.
"The Sun-Times has reported Karnisovas has taken swings with the Pelicans on players such as forward Zion Williamson and center Yves Missi and has made calls about Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin. He also has been taking calls in an effort to determine the best course of action for his backcourt," Cowley wrote.
Despite another brutal season, the Pelicans have maintained their commitment to Williamson and continue building around him.
But depending on the Bulls' offer, it would be interesting to see if they'll finally move on from the former No. 1 overall pick.
As the Bulls are set to prepare for their future with Josh Giddey leading the way, Williamson appears to be a strong co-star for the Australian sensation.
Currently No. 9 in the East with a 24-26 record, Chicago is steadfast to take the next step.
