Zion Williamson and Creative Arts Agency have silt ways. The reason for the
split is not immediately known. Austin Brown, Williamson’s primary represent-
tative at CAA, did not return messages seeking comment.
鹈鹕队前锋Zion Williams与知名经纪集团CAA，已经决定分道扬镳！
记者目前还不知道分手的原因，因为Zion在CAA的首席公关代表Austin Brown，
直到新闻截稿前都没有回复记者的短信
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 final
three years of the contract are not guaranteed.
Zion在2022暑假与鹈鹕签了5年总价将近2亿美金的延长合约，并且已经在2023-
24赛季生效。不过这笔合约有个玄机：最后三年的金额，球队并不保证全额给付
The Pelicans have the contractual power to waive Williamson after this season
with 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.
所以鹈鹕只要过了这个赛季，在契约上就拥有释出Zion的权利，并且不用承担后续的
财务。Zion只要上场打球，就能交出具有宰制力的表现，场均数据24.6分、6.6篮板
，投篮命中率更将近6成。只可惜由于不时受伤，也为他的职篮生涯蒙上一层阴影
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去年为鹈鹕队效力了70场例行赛，却又在打附加赛的时候受伤，
导致球队即使打进季后赛，他还是只能在第一轮对雷霆队的比赛全程坐壁上观。

心得：考量到胖虎很迷的上场状态，CAA会决定弃掉这风险商品，感觉也不大意外
至于鹈鹕，以他们与胖虎续约时顺带写道的但书，看起来他们也做好风险控管了
只是当初期待Zion能大杀四方的鹈鹕迷，如今看来应该是哭笑不得吧
