鵜鶘隊前鋒Zion Williams與知名經紀集團CAA，已經決定分道揚鑣！
記者目前還不知道分手的原因，因為Zion在CAA的首席公關代表Austin Brown，
直到新聞截稿前都沒有回覆記者的簡訊

Williamson signed a five-year, $197 million contract extension with the New
Orleans Pelicans in 2022 that was to begin in the 2023-24 season, but the finalthree years of the contract are not guaranteed.

Zion在2022暑假與鵜鶘簽了5年總價將近2億美金的延長合約，並且已經在2023-
24賽季生效。不過這筆合約有個玄機：最後三年的金額，球隊並不保證全額給付

The Pelicans have the contractual power to waive Williamson after this seasonwith no financial ramifications. Williamson has been dominant when he plays,
with career averages of 24.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and a shooting percentage
near 60 percent. But his career has been slowed down by injury.

所以鵜鶘只要過了這個賽季，在契約上就擁有釋出Zion的權利，並且不用承擔後續的
財務。Zion只要上場打球，就能交出具有宰制力的表現，場均數據24.6分、6.6籃板
，投籃命中率更將近6成。只可惜由於不時受傷，也為他的職籃生涯蒙上一層陰影

Williamson appeared in 70 games last season for the Pelicans, but was
injured in the Play-In and missed the entirety of their first round series
against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Williamson去年為鵜鶘隊效力了70場例行賽，卻又在打附加賽的時候受傷，
導致球隊即使打進季後賽，他還是只能在第一輪對雷霆隊的比賽全程坐壁上觀。

心得：考量到胖虎很迷的上場狀態，CAA會決定棄掉這風險商品，感覺也不大意外

至於鵜鶘，以他們與胖虎續約時順帶寫道的但書，看起來他們也做好風險控管了

只是當初期待Zion能大殺四方的鵜鶘迷，如今看來應該是哭笑不得吧
