New Orleans has already exercised its player option on Zion’s rookie deal. He’s guaranteed to stay with the Pelicans through 2022-23, regardless of whether or not he signs his extension. But in 2023-24, the best the organization can do is extend him a $17.5 million qualifying offer. Williamson can decline it if he so chooses and become a restricted free agent in 2023 and an unrestricted free agent in 2024.
Zion is eligible for 5yr / $181 mil contract this summer. Do you give It to him?

For all parties involved and if Zion was smart, he'd take less than the max in exchange for long term stability and making it back up later (maybe). He'd be stupid to take the gamble and try and force his way into UFA considering his injury history and the question of whether his body can even hold up until then. Not to mention the fact that he wouldn't get the full five year amount anywhere else that he went.
It'd get him closer to getting out of NO where they can get some semblance of equal value and he gets long term stability.

they shouldn't but they have to
say what you want about the NFL, but it is structured in a way that benefits league, teams and their fans
NBA players have their league/teams by the balls and the fans suffer as a result.
Clowns taking rest days on the road. Players getting max contracts off one good year of performance. Teams tanking. Players refusing vaccines and still being able to play. Listing whole teams as game time decisions / announcing rest days right at tip off. It's honestly a joke.

In his second season, Zion Williamson has not extended his range. He’s taken 82% of his shots in the restricted area, the third highest rate among 251 players with at least 200 field goal attempts and down just a tick from last season (85%). In 68 career games, Williamson has made 19 shots (on 56 attempts) from outside the paint. Four of those 19 came in his rookie debut.
But his work in the paint, along with the seventh highest free throw rate (52 attempts per 100 shots from the field) among those 251 players, has Williamson ranking eighth in scoring at 26.4 points per game. Though he’s made just eight 3-pointers, Williamson has the highest true shooting percentage (66.2%) among the 47 players with a usage rate of 25% or higher.
Last season, Williamson scored 15.8 points per game in the restricted area, the highest mark in the 25 years for which we have shot-location data. This season, he’s destroying his own record, averaging 17.9 restricted-area points per game.

Follow me to the truth
In a crazy twist, my sources are relaying to me that he signed with the Buccaneers
Trade that fat p*ssy already
We don't have a choice.
Sign him and trade him.
Sign him and trade him.
Hell no
But what's going to happen is that they will and then he will be fat for a year and demand a trade
