The New Orleans Pelicans have been in the middle of an off-season filled with drama that has created a dark cloud over the organization heading into the season. Media day was the perfect time to make those clouds go away and get some positive shine just a few weeks before opening night. The guy at the center of the event was none other than Zion Williamson.
Zion has been at the epicenter of all the drama due to his alleged unhappiness in the Big Easy. A report earlier in the off-season by The Athletic detailed how Zion’s family thought poorly about the team and how organizational missteps created untrust between the two parties.
