Money Aside, Zion Williamson Seems Pleased With His Contract

What should we make, now, of the media coverage of Zion Williamson since the New Orleans Pelicans announced he would miss this past season?

Just to recap some of what we can remember, Williamson was ready to leave for New York, weighed 400 lbs, wasn’t working at rehab, and, according to JJ Redick, was a detached teammate.

That part might be true and we feel confident that Redick, who was Williamson’s teammate for a year, knows him better than anyone in the media might.

A lot of people were sure that he was going to leave but for us, the fact that his mom had an historical house and was filing to modify it, which means dealing with the historical commission or whoever handles it.
