So you have probably the most marketable young star in the entire league and don't mention him at all when you're trying to get season ticket renewals? Something isn't adding up here and doesn't seem like an oversight from the marketing department. That's like the Mavs sending out a season ticket renewal package but only show you Dwight Powell and THJ without mentioning Luka once.
Couple that with this other rumor floated by Howard Beck just a couple of days ago where he mentioned:

I suppose this raises a ton of questions.
1. Why would NOP try to cut bait so early on Zion and is Zion damaged goods ala Greg Oden?
2. What would be a reasonable package for Zion from around the league considering his injury history?
3. Ignoring other competitive packages, what's the most you'd give for the Mavs to get Zion, if you even want him?
4. What team do you think would actually trade for Zion? I know we all think the Knicks, but if you're Sam Presti with your 50 draft picks, this seems like a prime opportunity to cash some in.

Quote:The teams that have a star are feverishly doing everything to keep them happy. The rest are plotting to poach them. Around the league, team executives are already bracing (and/or plotting) for the next disenchanted star to ask out, with speculation focused on Zion Williamson in New Orleans, Damian Lillard in Portland and Donovan Mitchell in Utah.
