Last month, Pelicans vice president of basketball operations David Griffin referred to Zion Williamson as a “max player.” Well, he put his money where his mouth is this Friday.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, the Pelicans are nearing a five-year rookie max contract extension with Williamson.

Williamson can earn up to $231 million over the course of this five-year extension.

Judging by Griffin’s previous comments, the front office didn’t have any debate over whether or not Williamson is worth this type of money.

“It’s not a big decision, it’s a pretty easy decision,” Griffin said. “The kid’s historically good when he plays … this is a max player, that’s easy.”
