Zion Williamson’s Contract Set To Become Fully Guaranteed For The 2025-26 Season

Let’s just hope he actually plays and shows out
Breaking news: player under contract is…under contract
Not a bad deal for Zion. We know he’ll only play 40 games under this fully guaranteed contract.
Incoming Zion allstar season
This is more of a good review on Zions contract and the protections that are in there. It also shows that as long as he is on the roster the weight clauses and games played are fairly meaningless.
As far as your last paragraph I think that is a lot of wishful thinking. You have said the best way to build around Zion is to surround him with shooters. We only have 2 good shooters in Trey and Poole and Poole is more streaky than consistently good. I think our starting 5 will be close neutral maybe a little positive but once we bring in bench players the paint will be consistently clogged. That will lead to turnovers or missed 3 resulting in transition buckets the other way. Our D will be bad. Other than Herb we don’t have a quality point of attack defender. I think 30-35 wins sounds about right for this roster
Slightly offtrack from the primary message in the article, and I’m sure I’m in the minority here but I’d love to see CP3 play his final season in New Orleans if the Clippers pass on him for Beal (assuming he’s bought out). I’m also assuming in this scenario that Murray may not play all year, or at a minimum won’t be ready until after the All-Star break.
Let him start with Poole being the primary scorer off the bench and possible 6MOY candidate. He’s a decent enough shooter as well to have around Zion and brings additional much needed veteran leadership.
Play Fears and Queen as little as possible this year, but still be around that veteran leadership in CP3 and Kevon Looney.
