Hello and welcome to the Ringer NBA show. It's the answer I'm Chris Ryan and I'm

joined by Sir Ed So you what's up Sir Ed? I'm good. I'm just admiring your 10 in your hat.

I was off for a couple of days and while I was gone it seems like half the stars in the NBA

turned to their employers and said nice NBA franchise. You got there shame if something happened to it.

It's like yeah, holding a lot of franchise is hostage but I'm not really sure if they have a gun.

No, I mean when I think that saying it comes from like early like 1930s mafia, right?

Like you know, you would just it's not extortion. It's just a suggestion. Sure.

But we're going to talk about some of the goings and coming to the NBA free agency.

Obviously we are recording this at 3 30 p.m. on a Saturday. Hope everybody's having a nice long weekend.

The most recent news that I think we should probably update people on is that Zine Williamson

signed a new deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. I believe it's for $193 million.

But it can go up to $231 million if Zine Williamson makes an all NBA team wins the NBA MVP or wins defensive player of the year next season.

So is it next season or is it throughout the totality of his deal?

I guess it would be next season right? Yeah.

So Zine now also it's worth noting as a concept that I'm learning all about in the last 24 hours cannot be traded for Kevin Durant, which is going to be another component of what we talk about today the KT trade talk all the rumors surrounding that.
