Zion Williamson has hired CAA agent Austin Brown and Lisa Joseph-Metelus as his representation.

Brown represents Dwyane Wade, Pau Gasol, D'Angelo Russell, Gary Harris, Jaren Jackson Jr., Donovan Mitchell and several other NBA players.

Williamson had one of the more protracted agent searches in recent memory for a top draft pick.

Anthony Davis is "highly unlikely" to stance his stance on requesting a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans.

Davis requested a trade from the Pelicans at the end of January.

Davis and his agent, Rich Paul, met with David Griffin on Wednesday in Los Angeles. The meeting was described as a "respectful, productive sit down."

Griffin has been seeking an opportunity to convince Davis to drop his trade request, particularly after the Pelicans won the lottery.

David Griffin met for breakfast with Anthony Davis on Wednesday to discuss the future of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Griffin laid out his vision for the franchise to Davis. Griffin and Davis will continue a dialogue in the near future.

Davis can become a free agent next offseason and has requested a trade from the Pelicans. Davis is eligible to sign a five-year, $239 million supermax contract extension.

Griffin has yet to engage any teams on trade talks. The Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics and New York Knicks are prepared to discuss a Davis trade with the Pelicans.

Anthony Davis will meet with David Griffin on Wednesday.

Griffin was hired this offseason as Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Davis requested a trade from the Pelicans in January and all reports indicate that still stands despite the franchise winning the lottery with the opportunity to select Zion Williamson.

Griffin has sought an opportunity to convince Davis to remain with the Pelicans.

The Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans have pursued Tyronn Lue for a lead assistant role, but he remains focused on a return to the NBA in a head coaching role.

Lue was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers in October of last year.

Lue was offered the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching job, but was unable to agree to contract terms.

The Rockets are working to add to their staff following the departures of assistant coaches Jeff Bzdelik, Mitch Vanya and Roy Rogers, player development assistant Irv Roland and video coordinator John Cho. 

The Rockets offered Lue an assistant coaching job soon after he was fired in October.

Lue has history working with New Orleans head coach Alvin Gentry and executive Vice President David Griffin. 

The New Orleans Pelicans and David Booth have mutually agreed to part ways.

Booth was most recently Director of Player Personnel and had been with the Pelicans since 2010.

Booth was originally a scout with the Pelicans.

The Pelicans hired Trajan Langdon as general manager over the weekend.

David Griffin hasn't given up on the possibility of retaining Anthony Davis with the New Orleans Pelicans long-term.

The Pelicans presumably received a boost on that possibility by winning the lottery, but early reports indicated that Davis still wanted a trade from the Pelicans.

The Pelicans can offer Davis a supermax contract this offseason.

Griffin plans to meet with Davis in Los Angeles when agencies host predraft workouts.

“We’re very confident that we have a compelling situation for him here,” said Griffin.

The New Orleans Pelicans will reportedly hire Trajan Langdon as their next general manager.

The 43-year-old Langdon was an assistant GM with the Nets.

Langdon will work under executive vice-president of basketball operations David Griffin. 

Gayle Benson has denied a suggestion from ESPN that she has given an edict for the New Orleans Pelicans not to trade Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Several media outlets aggregated comments from a podcast featuring Jackie MacMullan.

“We have been told, I think, through channels – most of us have heard this same scuttlebutt – that Gayle Benson has basically told [new general manager David Griffin], ‘To the Lakers, over my dead body,’” MacMullan said.

Benson laughed at the report and described it as “totally absurd,” and “completely untrue.”

Other reporters have made similar statements about the Lakers being ruled out by the Pelicans, but that position appears to be conjecture.

Ja Morant met with the New Orleans Pelicans, Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago.

The Pelicans, Grizzlies and Knicks own the top-3 picks in that order.

Morant is widely expected to be selected by the Grizzlies at No. 2.
