Stan Van Gundy Blasts Knicks ‘Arrogance’ Around Zion Williamson Rumors!

CelebnSports247.com previously reported that former New Orleans Pelicans JJ Redick blasted his teammate Zion Williamson labeling him a “detached teammate.” Meanwhile, Stan Van Gundy views the Zion Williamson-to-New York rumors as just another example of the Knicks’ “arrogance,” turning a blind eye to the truth of the matter…

According to reports, Van Gundy, the last person to coach Zion Williamson in an NBA game had this to say about the New York Knicks believing “that everybody in the league wants to play for the Knicks.”

Stan Van Gundy states:

It’s possible. But listen. The Knicks have this thing and it’s amazing. No matter how many times people have proven they don’t want to play for the Knicks, the Knicks have this idea that everybody in the league wants to play for the Knicks. Now what is the last time it actually happened that somebody came and tried to get their way to New York? Like, never in the last 20 years?

But still the Knicks and Knicks fans think everybody is trying to get to the Knicks. I’m not saying [Zion] won’t end up there — there’s all kinds of ways people can end up somewhere — but this idea that everybody wants to be a New York Knick, I mean if that were the case, then they wouldn’t be as bad as they’ve been for the last 20 years.

If you recall, The Knicks tanked for Williamson when he was a prospect at Duke, but came up short in the lottery. Upon getting drafted by the Pelicans, the 21-year-old expressed admiration for the city of New Orleans, but he’s played just 85 games in three years and questions surrounding his fitness continue to swirl.

Williams is currently still recovering from and injury, but now may need a second one.

So the big question is, “will the Knicks still try to acquire Zion Williams?”

Van Gundy has this to say about that:

No one yet has passed on signing the extension. No one yet. It’s too lucrative. So he’s first got to sign. And then it normally takes a year or two before people are forcing themselves somewhere else. So I think we’re a little premature on all of this. And I don’t know what the Knicks would have that New Orleans would jump at right now. I just don’t. Who would they want? Evan Fournier?

If you are listening to Stan Van Gundy it seems like this will never happen.
