Sepertinya Zion Williamson akan tinggal bersama New Orleans Pelicans di masa mendatang. Penyerang bintang mendekati perpanjangan kontrak rookie max lima tahun senilai $ 231 juta. Syams Saranya. Kesepakatan itu akan membuat Williamson tetap di bawah kendali tim hingga musim 2027-28.
Williamson tidak memainkan satu pukulan pun untuk Pelikan musim lalu dengan patah kaki. Namun, mengingat potensi yang ia tunjukkan saat sehat — ia mencetak rata-rata 27 poin dan 7,2 rebound per game pada 2020-21 — dan berapa banyak yang telah diinvestasikan organisasi kepadanya, Pelikan tampaknya pasti akan menawarkannya. Sebuah ekstensi. Sementara ada beberapa spekulasi tentang keinginan Williamson untuk tinggal di New Orleans dalam jangka panjang, dia telah melakukan yang terbaik untuk menghilangkan keraguan dalam beberapa bulan terakhir. Pada bulan April, Williamson menjelaskan bahwa dia berencana untuk menandatangani kontrak dengan Pelicans jika ditawari perpanjangan.
“Tentu. Tentu. Saya tidak bisa menandatanganinya dengan cukup cepat,” Williamson berkata Pada saat itu, sebelum mengucapkan beberapa kata yang seharusnya terdengar seperti musik di telinga penggemar Pelikan: “Saya tidak bisa mengendalikan rumor dan perasaan orang tentang hal-hal tertentu, tetapi siapa pun yang mengenal saya tahu saya ingin berada di sini.”

Dia juga menggandakan posisi itu bulan lalu. “Saya ingin berada di sini, itu bukan rahasia lagi,” Williamson berkata New Orleans pada bulan Juni. “Saya merasa seperti berdiri di dalamnya saat saya berbicara. Ini adalah tahun rehabilitasi dan perjuangan mental yang panjang. Saya baik-baik saja sekarang. Saya siap untuk bekerja.”
Setelah Pelicans bernasib tanpa dia musim lalu, Williamson memiliki alasan nyata untuk bersemangat tentang masa depan tim. Setelah memulai musim 1-12, mereka bangkit dan akhirnya mampu mengamankan unggulan kedelapan di Barat, dan mereka menyapu Phoenix Suns ke enam game di babak pertama. Bintang mapan Brandon Ingram dan C.J. Selain McCollum, Pelikan juga mendapat kontribusi besar dari trio Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III dan Jose Alvarado. Dengan latar belakang ini, Williamson optimis tentang masa depan tim.
“Menyedihkan menonton dari pinggir lapangan, tapi saya harus melihat potensi kami,” katanya. “Kami memiliki banyak bidak hebat, dan saya bersemangat untuk masuk ke lapangan bersama orang-orang itu. … Anda melihatnya di lapangan. Kami memiliki tim khusus. Saya benar-benar percaya itu. … Saya pikir semakin banyak tim Anda menang, semakin banyak penghargaan individu datang. Saya salah satu orang yang percaya. Jadi, dengan tim khusus, pelatih seperti Willie. [Green]Saya pikir banyak hal hebat akan terjadi.”
Begitu dia dikurung begitu lama, langkah Williamson selanjutnya akan menjadi sehat, karena dia sebenarnya melewatkan lebih banyak pertandingan daripada yang dia mainkan saat ini dalam karirnya. Jika dia bisa pergi dan menjauh dari lapangan, Pelikan memiliki kesempatan untuk tumbuh menjadi pesaing yang sah di Wilayah Barat.
