David Griffin: Pelicans never had a 'single trade conversation' that Zion Williamson was a part of
The Pelicans have no reason to come out and say Zion Williamson has a bad relationship with the team. It weakens their leverage in the event they want to trade the former No. 1 overall pick. With that being said, David Griffin is adamant they’re not trading Williamson. “We never had a single [trade] conversation that Zion was part of,” Griffin said.

David Griffin is optimistic about @PelicansNBA and Zion Williamson… but he knows there’s a lot to prove: “Honestly there’s not enough of a sample size to know that we’re any good.”

David Griffin keepin’ it it real on Pelicans and Zion… Interesting stuff:
“He’s got incredible potential to be sort of game-changing for even the league as a whole. But at the same time the volatility around the injury situation has been really severe.”

🚨HEY HEY HEY🚨
It’s @polkandkush Day.
– I love Zion. I relate to Zion. The flawed superstar I feel.
– He eats badly, hates working out and has low impulse control as a rich 22 year old.
– NOLA pays $155K/year for jailing folks remotely.

More on this storyline
“I would say that it’s as good as it’s ever been,” Griffin said of Williamson’s relationship with the team. He added, “I think what’s unfortunate is that he’s a name that generates clicks no matter what the link says. -via athlonsports.com / July 16, 2023
“Zion puts on his socks. People click on that. So it makes it really easy for people to manufacture rumor around him — because they don’t have to have any actual credibility behind what they say to generate clicks. “As a society, this isn’t [just] true of sports, this is true across all platforms — reality doesn’t matter anymore. Generating clicks matters. So unfortunately for Zion, he’s just an oddity and somebody that people pay a great deal of attention to and manufacture a lot of stories around.” -via athlonsports.com / July 16, 2023
Amid controversy about their relationship, adult film star Moriah Mills said in a TikTok that New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson beat her. “He’s literally a liar, you guys,” Mills said. “Everything he says, he’s a liar, he’s not who he says he is. I’ve literally been saving face, I did not want to come to the world and let you guys know what he has been doing to me my entire relationship with him. He is a woman beater and the NBA needs to know this.” Mills also claimed that Williamson, who is entering his fourth NBA season, is yet to pay her $62,000. “I have yet to receive that since June,” Mills said. “I’m still here.” -via Clutch Points / July 15, 2023
