Satoransky spoke to the Czech media and shared his thoughts regarding journalism in the United States. Satoransky thinks that all the stories about Zion Williamson wanting to leave the Pelicans are simply not true.

“I have a feeling that some American media which cover the NBA want to break up teams and create fake stories so that something's happening,” Satoransky said to isport.blesk.cz. “This one's dissatisfied, this one wants to leave - and most of the time, the truth is elsewhere or somewhere in the middle.”

“It's definitely not true that Zion in his third season is thinking about not having good players around him. I'm convinced of that,” Satoransky added.

The Czech star also admitted that he left Chicago with a bittersweet feeling, saying that he didn’t get a farewell he expected from the Bulls general manager Arturas Karnisovas.

“It was tense. You're in the city for two years, you fight for them, you live for the team - and then you receive a text from general manager Karnisovas which says, “Thanks for your time in Chicago,” Satoransky told.

“That was the only thing I got from him. But I'm not angry; you can't be emotional at that moment. But when one thinks about it... after two years of hard work, it's actually brutal,” he added.
