Pelicans Would Be Required To Waive Zion Williamson To Reduce Contract Amount The New Orleans Pelicans would have to waive Zion Williamson in order to reduce the amount of money owed to him on his contract. There was a report last week that indicated Williamson would be required to be weighed with his pounds plus body fat percentage needing to stay below 295. The full amount of Williamson's year-by-year salary, which ranges from $33.3 million in 2023-24 to $43.9 million in 2027-28, won't change for salary cap and luxury tax purposes. The reduction is a protection for the Pelicans in case Williamson's career is derailed. For Williamson, he agreed to the contract soon after the opening of free agency and though he received a significant commitment, it comes with downside risk given the unpredictable nature of his body.
Noah and maybe Bruno are likely to fill some of Horford's regular season minutes. To keep Al fresh for post-season.
There's something rotten with those rims. People like to point to times the ball goes in suspiciously, but the rims could be used to make the shot miss. I'll never believe the Rockets missed all of those threes against the Warriors legitimately, for example.
Elaborate? How do you make rims selectively repel basketballs? Or do you think the rims were secretly switched whenever the teams switched sides?
Are you saying that a single magnet can't be made to attract by running electricity through it and not attract by stopping the electricity? Or a single magnet can't be made to repel and not repel? Isn't that essentially how some type of trains operate? Those are honest questions because my very limited understanding of electromagnetism believes that is all possible and I would invite correction. If that is possible, then that would explain the weird movements the ball made in the video and also explain a decent three-point shooting team missing close to 30 straight threes in a game. You wouldn't even need the ball to move that much as long distance shots require greater precision. That would also explain something like Curry's shooting in the last All Star game where he made 15 threes, but the rim would be turned on to attract and suck the ball through the hoop in that case.
Sure, that can be done, but a magnet doesn't attract rubber. Basketballs with iron would be pretty obviously different in feel from regular basketballs. I mean, it's a funny idea, but you don't seriously believe this stuff, do you?
