This isn't surprising but it never ceases to amaze me how much these guys get paid. Take into account that Zion missed all of last season and has only played 85 games in his three seasons in the league and this contract is stupifying. The guy is a physical specimen but he's too big for his own good and I'll be shocked if he doesn't continue to be plagued by injuries. If the Pelicans were smart they would trade him while he's still viewed as a potential superstar. In the words of the legendary Bill Parcells, "Availability is the best ability." Zion ain't got that.
Zion signs 5 yr, $193 million contract.

Going to be one of the worst contracts in NBA history, and that’s saying something

Unless in the new contract Zion has to be on Nutri System. If he doesn't eat himself out of the league Zion can be a tremendous player.
I never really got into the term “poverty franchise”, but man does it play here. They literally have to pay him to keep someone, anyone interested. They should move to Vegas
