Zion Williamson will play in a New Orleans Pelicans uniform next season. David Griffin’s good luck charms paid off; the Pelicans do not have to trade Anthony Davis for Zion. The NBA’s silly season just got even more ridiculous, and so did some of the negative reactions from Big Media talking heads.
In the first 24 hours after the NBA Lottery bomb imploded the scheduled offseason narrative, the national media showed some bias. Instead of focusing on the realistic scenarios after the Pelicans won the first pick, the media collectively pitched a fit. They did not get the story angles they were hoping for, so they turned negative on the city of New Orleans, with little merit.
