With NBA free agency less than a month away and the draft right around the corner the heat is on as the rumor mill starts to go crazy. One of the biggest topics of conversation is about a player that isn’t being drafted nor is he a free agent this summer. The questions are what’s going to happen with Anthony Davis? The Pelicans have no choice but to trade him because he wants out on the first thing smoking.
Back in March when the Lakers offered them the farm for his services, then general manager Dell Demps, refused to take the deal that Los Angeles threw on the table. They got to a point where they offered them two first round draft picks along with Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram along with some other foolishness.
Demps looked at it like the Lakers were trying to punk him and refused to take the deal. Well…that decision ultimately cost him his job because Anthony Davis still didn’t want to be there and he becomes an unrestricted free agent next summer. So nobody’s willing to give up much for him because he could walk and they’ll get nothing in return for him in 2020.
Now the talking heads are blaming Rich Paul from Klutch Sports for influencing Davis etc. Look here bruh, the dun doesn’t want to play in New Orleans. It’s a business!! Ole boy just said recently that he’s interested in the Lakers, Knicks or Clippers as possible destinations. He’s a SUPERSTAR!! He wants to play in a market that will give him the exposure he deserves as a superstar.
It doesn’t matter what he does in New Orleans nobody’s going to see him play. It’s one of the smallest media markets in the league. As bad as New York is and as terrible as the front office is he’ll still be on national television every week. He wants to be seen!!!
You can’t be mad at a boy for looking to increase his brand’s image and make a little more bread. That’s the name of the game. He’s given New Orleans all he can give and now it’s time to bounce. The Pelicans may as well trade him to the Lakers because that’s where he ultimately wants to play and they’ll actually accommodate them in a sensible trade because his chances of walking away in 2020 is slim to none. Just my thoughts on this foolishness as it plays out. Stop me when I start lyin’!
