New Pelicans mailbag!
— How should the Pelicans structure Zion Williamson’s extension?
— How much ‘Point Zion’ will we see next season?
— A Convo I had with Willie Green last year that may indicate how Zion will be used

More on this storyline
“I think that what happens is you want to trade draft capital if you get the right deals and if you feel like you’re close enough to winning,” Danny Ainge, who was Boston’s president of basketball operations from 2003-21, told Sports Illustrated recently. “None of us know what would have happened in different circumstances.” -via New York Times / June 12, 2022 James Boyd: #Pacers now hosting projected lottery pick and #Duke standout A.J. Griffin tomorrow for an individual #NBADraft workout. #Badgers star Johnny Davis will now do his individual workout on Tuesday due to a scheduling issue. 📸 me pic.twitter.com/1xqq7timFr -via Twitter @RomeovilleKid / June 12, 2022 OKC’s interest in Sharpe is mutual. According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN, the Thunder “have studied him more closely than any team in the NBA” and his camp has them at the top of the wishlist for Sharpe’s potential destinations. Sharpe’s camp also doesn’t sound overly concerned with where he’s picked, preferring to take a long-term view in steering him to an advantageous development situation in which he can maximize his significant potential and become an All-Star, with the Thunder being at the top of their list. -via Clutch Points / June 12, 2022
