A leaked video has been making the rounds on X. In the video, New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson could be seen talking to a Bulls assistant that he may be interested in playing for the Bulls.

According to the video, Zion quickly urged the assistant to say this out loud in front of his current teammates before walking away. So, does that mean that the Duke product could be seen donning a Bulls jersey soon?

Both the Chicago Bulls and the New Orleans Pelicans have assets that they could include to make a trade for Zion Williamson. Williamson has spent his entire career in the league with the Pelicans so far.

So, is the 6″6″ forward looking for a change? The Bulls did win their most recent matchup, that too over the Pelicans. But that isn’t enough of a reason for Williamson to request a trade from his franchise.

Another thing that the video states is the phrase ‘You and Zach’ said by the assistant. This may very well mean that the Bulls may be planning on keeping Zach LaVine and trading other assets for a duo of LaVine and Williamson.
