After Williamson’s comments at the Pelicans’ end-of-season presser last week, the question should no longer be if he’ll sign an extension but when. Asked about his interest in inking a new deal with New Orleans this summer, the 21-year-old responded: “Of course. I wouldn’t be able to sign it fast enough.” The sound bite was everything fans in the Crescent City could’ve hoped to hear from the face of the franchise after his tumultuous year. But as I wrote Friday, I don’t think the negotiations will be as simple as that comment might make them seem.
