[Saba Sports News] Stephen A. Smith claims Zion Williamson wants out of New Orleans for a bigger market like New York or LA, citing marketability as a key factor. On First Take, Smith shared that the Pelicans star is reportedly unhappy in New Orleans and prefers a high-profile city.
This speculation follows Williamson’s suspension for tardiness, ongoing struggles with injuries and fitness, and rumors of New Orleans exploring trade options ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline.
While recent reports suggested Williamson is committed to the Pelicans—backed by his classy support for New Orleans after a recent tragedy—Smith’s take adds fuel to the ongoing debate about Williamson’s future.
