On February 2, Beijing time, according to Evan Sidery of The Athletic, the Hornets have negotiated a potential deal with the Pelicans for Zion. Zion still has a lot of value, and the Pelicans need a shock-level offer to consider trading him, Sidery said. Between now and the offseason, teams are focused on the future of Zion.

If the Hornets can successfully exchange for Zion, it is difficult to say whether the record will improve, but the Fat Tiger is destined to be very ornamental with the three-ball partner. The three-ball is very good at passing, and Zion's dunk is very explosive, but the two have a similar problem, which is injury problems. Zion has only played 13 games so far this season, and while the three-goal is not so dramatic, he has missed 14 games.

Both are young, and their abilities are still there when they are healthy, with Zion averaging 23.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season while shooting 52% from the field. Three-Ball averaged 28.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game this season, and he was also the top voter in the Eastern backcourt, but ultimately failed to be selected as an All-Star. This isn't the first time Zion has been rumored with the Hornets, and before Jordan sold the team, a reporter revealed that the Hornets were interested in Zion.

Both the Hornets and Pelicans are among the teams that have been on the robe this season, with the Hornets 12-33 in 14th place in the East and the Pelicans 12-37 in 14th place in the West. Both teams have been hit by injuries, with the Hornets' Gwee and Miller both out for the season, the Pelicans' Murray also out for the season, and Ingram and Jones out for long periods.
