Rumors are flying around the league, and a lot of teams are circling Zion Williamson.

And the Pelicans better not blink.

Zion is a cornerstone.
Our star.
Our clear No. 1 option.

You don’t trade the face of your franchise.
You don’t trade belief.
You don’t trade a timeline.

You ride with Zion. Period.

The Pelicans should be giving Micah Peavy more minutes.

His defensive versatility, energy, and willingness to do the dirty work stand out every time he’s on the floor.

There’s clear upside in his game, and the only way to unlock it is through consistent opportunity.

Investing in Peavy’s development now could pay off big for New Orleans.

Trey is in a league of his own this season. 🤯

Through 35 games, he’s racked up 57 dunks and 102 three-pointers, a combination no one else in the NBA is even close to matching.

No other player has reached 50 dunks and 50 threes, let alone cleared both by this margin.

Elite athleticism.
Elite shooting.
Rare versatility.

Despite missing time this season, Zion Williamson is reminding everyone why he’s still the Pelicans’ No. 1 option. 🔥

When he’s on the floor, the offense runs through his power, touch, and ability to overwhelm defenses at the rim.

The impact is immediate, and the control he brings changes the game’s tone.

Healthy Zion remains the engine of this team.

James Borrego has made the Pelicans’ next coaching decision easier than expected.

Since taking over on November 15, James Borrego hasn’t fixed the record, but he has fixed the process for the New Orleans Pelicans.

The offense is moving. The pace is faster. The rotations make sense.

Under Borrego, the Pelicans’ offensive rating has jumped from 27th to 19th, their net rating is up 7.5 points, and they’ve gone from last in assists and 26th in pace to top five in pace. All of it happened without roster changes.

That points to coaching.

Borrego has adjusted to personnel instead of forcing a system, even cutting three-point volume to better fit the roster. That flexibility was missing under Willie Green.

The decisions matter too.
He rewarded Karlo Matković with a start based on performance and matchup. He’s trusted Bryce McGowens with real minutes instead of limiting him to garbage time.

The record may not show it yet.
But the direction does.

At a time when everything else is uncertain in New Orleans, Borrego has already shown why he deserves the job full-time.

Zion Williamson is starting to look like himself again, and it’s been a breath of fresh air in New Orleans.

Over his last 8 games, Zion is averaging 27.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists, playing downhill, finishing through contact, and putting steady pressure on defenses every night.

Even during a tough stretch for the Pelicans, his recent run has been a real bright spot and a reminder of just how special he can be when he’s rolling.

James Borrego couldn’t hide his excitement watching it unfold. “It’s been great. Zion looks great,” Borrego said. “His spirit is right, mind is right. He looks fresh, aggressive, and really confident right now.

So that's a bright spot. We've got to just lean into that. It's a positive. We're going to get reinforcements back here soon. We just need Zion to keep playing at that level.”

With Dejounte Murray and Herb Jones getting closer to returning, the vibe around the team is starting to shift.

Borrego also made it clear this isn’t just a hot week. “It’s as well as I think he’s played in a while,” he added. “I’ve seen this before, but in recent history, this is probably the best. Mentally and physically, he looks really strong right now.”

If this version of Zion sticks around when the reinforcements arrive, the Pelicans might finally be ready to build some real momentum.
