CJ McCollum, who was recently traded by the Portland Trail Blazers to the New Orleans Pelicans, revealed in a an interview that he has not yet talked to the team’s young star Zion Williamson.

According to former NBA player and Zion’s teammate JJ Redick, Williamson is a detached teammate and this episode with McCollum is another example of that.

“This just shows a complete lack of investment in your team, in the organization, in the city,” the 15-year NBA veteran said on First Take. “I get that he’s hurt and away from the team, but you just traded for one of the 50 best players in the league, a guy that’s supposed to be paired with you. Reach out and say hello.

“This is a pattern of behavior with Zion that we are seeing again and again. I was his teammate, I can describe him as a detached teammate. That is an accurate statement.

“This is a basic humanity being a teammate. Send a text to a guy when he gets traded to your team. That’s just a normal behavior. That’s the bar minimum that you have to do. And the Pelicans yesterday sent out an email for season’s tickets for next year guess whose name was not in the email. Zion’s.”

The last part of Redick’s quote about Zion not being included in New Orlean’s email about the next season’s tickets, lends further support to a report that NBA teams expect Williamson as well as Donovan Mitchell and Damian Lillard to ask to be traded by their respective teams.

Last season the 21-year-old power forward averaged 27 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 33.2 minutes per game for the Pelicans.
