The reason why the Pelicans gave up thick eyebrows and traded him to Lakers was because they won the No. 1 pick in 2019. After sending away the thick eyebrows, the Pelicans also used the No. 1 pick to pick up the all-powerful beast forward Zion Williamson in NCAA.
Although Zion has only played 85 games in total in the past three years since entering NBA, he was still able to hand over 25.7 points, 7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and a 60.4% shooting percentage, fully demonstrating his offensive influence in the penalty area. force. And this summer, he also has the right to reach an early contract extension with the Pelicans.
Although Zion does have the attributes of a "glass man", after all, his upper limit is there. If the Pelicans do not renew his contract, he will definitely be a hot commodity for teams to compete for in the free market. The latest news is that the team still chose to compromise. According to NBA reporter Woj, the Pelicans have reached a five-year maximum salary extension of 193 million with Zion, and this contract can reach a maximum of 231 million.
I have to say that this is the importance of talent. Like Zion, who lies down and recuperates every day, he can easily get the maximum salary. On the other hand, some players wander around, but only for a two-way meal that has no meal. Fighting for a contract is really about comparing people to death, and comparing goods to goods.
After Zion, the glass man, renewed his contract with the Pelicans, some American media began to joke that New Orleans local restaurants may be the biggest beneficiaries of Zion's renewal with the Pelicans. After all, his weight is there. Facing the delicacies of New Orleans, after Zion gets the maximum salary, he will definitely visit frequently and enjoy the pleasure of the food. But joking aside, the Pelicans were able to offer Zion such a big contract after assessing his current physical condition. Otherwise, the NBA management would be fools and would give a maximum salary to 3 people in vain. On a player who only played 85 games this season? I also hope that after getting this maximum salary contract, Zion can perform the return of the king in the new season and win proof for himself.
