Anthony Davis Requests Trade from NO

[Homerclease]

This league is honestly an embarrassment.

I feel for small market teams. Unless you nail a few draft picks big time you have no chance of ever contending properly. And your marquee player will run away at the first sign of trouble so they can make a stacked team.

Milwaukee is currently sitting in first place at the moment fyi

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

Lakers won't trade for him because they know they can get him as a FA.

[ConstableGeneva]

I wonder if the Clippers could get involved

I sure hope they do.

If Pels want to stupidly stay in playoff hunt, Tobias Harris, LouWill, and SGA is a good package. Then swap Randle for Harrell. Promise AD they can sign Butler and/or Kawhi in the summer.

I wonder if the Clippers could get involved

per every report the Pels want to stay relevant so I'd guess they probably value empty stats young guys like Kuzma or Ingram higher than they should, not sure if what the Clips can offer would entice them all that much

The Pelicans did themselves in by trading away too many first round picks to compete. Being riddled with injuries throughout the years really hurt them bad too.

It’s not good, it’s great. A dream come true. We can outbid anyone in the summer and give him a chance to win

Why would he ask for a trade now if he wants to be a Celtic?

Name one reason.

It’s a fair point, but name one reason why the Pels should trade him now

There isn’t one. But how often do these teams actually think logically?

When this sort of thing happens they’re usually fairly keen to move on as soon as possible?

If they know Davis won’t re-sign with Boston and therefore Danny won’t offer a lot then I could see why they’d just move on now. Their season is done already.

Lol at everyone giving up already. This is Rich Paul and Lebron throwing a hail mary as time expires on the clock. They know full well that the Lakers can't outbid the Celtics in the summertime. This is Paul and Lebron checking to see if Demps is dumb enough to take the bait. Everyone needs to chill out.

If anything, this is fantastic, because now Demps and his staff are aware they could have as many as 2-3 picks to use in this draft and will send their scouts out accordingly.

The Raps could get involved as well. Siakam and OG is probably better than the Lakers package, to be honest.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Damn..was hoping he would wait a few more weeks. What a goddamn shame. Pretty obvious the dude wants to play with LeBron.

This changes the game man..smh.

Tobias Harris, Gallo and SGA

They definitely have made some mistakes. Particular their inability to find good role players in the draft to put around Davis.

But they’ve also had horrible injury issues and Davis is still young. In a previous era he probably would have hung around and hoped to one day see a title in NOLA.

These days all these players are ready to run at the first opportunity so they can form another all star team. It’s boring.

[aim2please]

Kyrie and AD will play together next season. Unfortunately, it might be in yellow (It's not gold and we know it) and purple.

Hayward’s struggles make it hard to trade for AD anyhow. KI and AD isn’t good enough. Let him go to LA. Only a problem until the Finals.

Harris is a UFA, name me one reason why NOLA would value him highly, they probably need to max the hell out of him to get a chance to keep him, and even then not sealed

Gallo is having a great season but we all know about his injuries, and Shai is cool and promising but like I said, teams tend to overrate counting stats

That just ain't enough, if Harris was locked for a couple more years, you'd have a point

If Davis doesn’t want to go to Boston then Danny isn’t going to offer a lot.

This reminds me a heck of a lot of everything falling in to place for Durant to Golden State.

LeBron to LA, Davis signs with his agent, noise starts about him leaving to come to LA, he meets with LeBron for dinner and then bam a trade request right before the deadline.

Brown, Tatum and Smart match salary-wise. Hayward doesn't need to be in the trade.

[Jaqua92]

Yeah he’s not going to Boston.

I think the dream is over. Time to move on.

Why would he ask for a trade now if he wanted to come to us?

As it has been since the 60s everything is stacked in the Lakers favour.

Yup

Surely Demps is smart enough to realise we have the better picks. Why does everyone seem to think he’ll be a one year rental for us ? Has he said anything about going to the Lakers before ?

Let's do a sig bet. I say AD finishes the season as a Pelican. Winner picks the loser's sig. Loser wears it until the start of next season. How about it?

Because he’s way better than Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball.
