mic check one two one two what's going on everybody and oh boy oh boy there is some stuff going on in the new orleans pelicans culture do you remember a couple months ago we made a video on zion williamson and it's something that we didn't really put a lot of stock into mainly because zion williamson was drafted literally two years ago i mean i know it seems a little fuzzy because technically in the past calendar year we're gonna be a part of three different nba seasons which is wild if you think about it one year ago anthony davis hit that game winner during the los angeles lakers nba championship run and then there was the season after that and now we're about to go into a third season after that so if you remember a while ago actually more specifically three months ago there was this report that came out from a very reputable source the athletic and again the athletic is champ sharanya joe vardon william gullery to cite our sources properly so the exact report and the title of the report was inside the end of stan van gundy with the pelicans and an ongoing battle to keep zion williamson happy now i know what you might be thinking okay this dude is literally in the third year of his contract this shouldn't really be a thing but if you look around the entire nba there is an entire shift towards this type of behavior if you pay attention to what happened with luka doncic and the dallas mavericks something very similar was going on here luka doncic wasn't happy with the direction of the dallas mavericks the mavericks kind of felt this pressure to appease him as soon as possible because because hey i know he's going into his fourth season but it's one of those situations where if you don't capitalize and make this man happy then he's probably gonna leave after seven seasons so of course they're just thinking ahead it's very smart of them to do so but looks like the pelicans are in a much more difficult situation here with zion williamson this article literally opens up with parting ways with stan van gundy after just one season is not the biggest problem facing the new orleans pelicans they have been unable to put together the right elements to make rising star zion williamson and his family happy and multiple sources have told the athletic that certain family members want zion williamson on another team now if you go into it it mentions how stamban gundy and the pelicans agreed to part ways but most of the attention however from numerous sources across the league has centered on williamson's family members thinly veiled unhappiness with the pelicans and whether those feelings seeped into the player's own views so of course this is like the very first report we got from it it's something we kind of took with the grain of salt but then as time progressed forward there were things that i personally as an nba fan thought was absolutely stupid of the new orleans pelicans to not do for example lonzo ball is a player that was a highly sought after free agent they didn't trade him at the
