Zion Williamson and David Griffin are meeting this afternoon at the Saints headquarters, I'm told.

Per Nick Underhill

Let the speculation begin

Yeah could just be a “Hey don’t listen to the media, we’re not trading you”

Or could be a meeting Zion wanted.

Hard to say

If they trade Zion for a rookie burn the franchise down

I've had thoughts recently about the state of Pels Talk around 9 months from now if we traded Zion and he played 60 games with Charlotte and dominated, and Charlotte won more games than us.

Talk about a shitshow

Sounds like an AD meeting where he makes an ultimatum. If he doesn't buy in, they may have a deal on the table to move him.

My question is why at the Saints facility?

Did they take Zion’s key to the Pels facility?

Honestly, this is probably nothing but Griffin telling him that he’s never been in trade talks (even if he has been) and that if they get the 2-3 pick it will be for Ingram, not him. Damage control.

On one hand I would think this would be a meeting where Griff is just telling Zion not to worry about the media reports and he's not being traded.

On the other hand, word of this "meeting" was leaked for a reason, I have no clue what that reason is, but it doesn't really make sense that it would be leaked if it is just a "we are not trading you" type of meeting.

ETA: unless this was leaked by someone who doesn't even know what the meeting is about (admin folks or something at the Saints facility).

Could be -

About a trade or lack thereof

About Zion’s conditioning

About Zion’s fricktoys causing PR problems

Could be something else entirely

When Underhill picks up a scoop, it's probably significant.
