Having cemented the eighth overall pick in Tuesday’s lottery, the New Orleans Pelicans will remain preoccupied with all matters concerning the NBA draft, but free agency also sits right around the corner.
Zion Williamson can be presented with a 5-year, $181 million offer on July 1. He has stated unequivocally that he cannot wait to sign an extension with the Pelicans. Any reservations against the front office presenting him the rookie max this summer?
Kevin Barrios:
Perhaps it was the cycle of abuse of players leaving that has put me into a self-preservation mindset, but I really did not see Zion as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans in the near future.
