CJ told Malika Andrews that he has spoken to him since his comments at the All Star Game.

Everything is ok. He will be here forever.

Was just coming to post this. So Zion called first?

FaceTime?
Google duo?
Zoom?
Text?
Snapshot?
Insta DM?

He reached out to him after the fact. All this tells me is he is clinically alive.

Well, at least it's something.

It would be very Pelicans for Zion to have talked CJ out of wanting to be here. Trade request in coming.

I'm not trying to call you out or doubt you, but how did you hear about this? Sauces?

JJ is on the NBA afternoon show on ESPN and they were all discussing the story JJ and SAS set the table for on their show earlier in the day.

JJ's honestly learning the game fast. Get your hottest, most controversial takes out early, get people buzzing, then come back in the afternoon with a more nuanced and mellow take, adding new context that keeps the story pumping

Here’s her tweet after saying it live:

As reported on NBA Today: CJ McCollum told ESPN that since his interview over the weekend with the TNT Crew, Zion Williamson reached out and the two have spoken.

Now I hope CJ sheds some light on that conversation.

The speculation over if Zion will be the first max player to take the QO is always based on Zion "can afford" to leave tens of millions of dollars on the table. He still would be losing a lot of money, so if you're going to force your way out, you need a good reason.

Where is he going to find greener grass than Willie Green, CJ, BI, Herb and JV?

If the Knicks trade for him it's not like they'd have enough leftover to trade for Dame too.

I think it will all work itself out in the end because there really isn't a better choice for him than the Pels. But we won't be able to move forward until he's healthy enough to play.

By virtue of reaching out… I’m going out on a limb and saying he’s still in…on board and wants to get back in the floor with us.

If he had mentally checked out he wouldn’t bother at all…

Its kind of a no win situation for him. If he divulges private info its gona make him look bad despite him being in the right in alot of peoples opinions.

CJ is a guy people trust. Dont break that trust over Zions dumb arse

Couple important details here that we probably will never know, but hope we finally do at some point:

Did Zion see all this media stuff and say, well I have to do something?
Was he aware of it, not planning to do anything, and his camp said, hey you need to do something?
Or was he just not aware at all and his camo said, hey you need to do something.

I think those three paths all give us insight into three different things.
