New Orleans Pelicans leadership has indicated they are planning to stick with Zion Williamson as the face of the franchise going forward.

The New Orleans Pelicans are coming off a nightmare of a season. Following a successful summer last year, expectations were that the Pelicans would establish themselves as one of the elite teams in the Western Conference.

The NBA Finals aren't even here yet, but that hasn't stopped the trade rumor mill from reaching a higher gear. Judging from what is being said around the league, multiple All-Stars could find themselves joining new teams this offseason.

But New Orleans' ongoing injury issues played out like the league's saddest broken record, the loss column swelled to 61 (second-highest in franchise history), Brandon Ingram was sent packing at the deadline and former front-office architect David Griffin was shown the exit at season's end.

The Spurs could be a team to watch for a Kevin Durant trade. Will San Antonio make a serious pursuit of the Suns star?
