Due to his own injury problems, Zion has been in a state of recuperation so far this season, and now there are all kinds of rumors about Zion, and the high-profile NBA league supernova seems to have been estranged from the parent team, the Pelicans. In this case, this summer's offseason Zion and Pelicans will be able to carry out early renewal of player contracts, considering Zion's data performance and physical condition after entering the league, I am afraid that the Pelicans management is also very troubled by whether they should sign a long-term contract with Zion for 100 million yuan early.
As the 2019 NBA League Draft Leader, Zion has a high degree of attention in the draft, and many media reporters and league celebrities are optimistic about this super rookie. In his debut season, Zion also handed over the best data of averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and last season, he also got the top star data of 27+7 per game. But the problem Zion's own shortcomings are also very serious, so far Zion has only played 85 regular season games in the NBA league, and frequent injury problems have made this Yuanlang always stop and go.
According to the NBA league's salary rules, Zion can get a five-year, $181 million maximum long-term contract from the Pelicans this summer. But if the Pelicans give this sky-high contract, but Zion is still injured after the problem, then the Pelicans will probably cry without tears, to know that the same talented NBA draft Leader Lang Auden, he was finally completely ruined because of injuries, and now Zion does seem to have the possibility of becoming the next Oden.
But if the Pelicans choose to refuse to renew Zion in advance, then after the official expiration of the 4-year rookie player contract, Zion can quickly restore his free body through a 1-year qualification contract, when the Pelicans will lose the supernova who is regarded by the team as the cornerstone of the team. At present, no matter what the Pelicans management chooses in the end, they will face considerable risks, which is indeed a very headache decision choice. In this regard, how do fans view the career prospects of Zion, do you think the Pelicans should not renew their contract with Zion in advance for $180 million?
