"AD wants trade"


          

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25868546/anthony-davis-told-new-orleans-pelicans-re-sign

Agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports has informed the New Orleans Pelicans that All-NBA forward Anthony Davis won't sign a contract extension and has requested a trade, Paul told ESPN on Monday morning.

"Anthony wants to be traded to a team that allows him a chance to win consistently and compete for a championship," Paul told ESPN. "Anthony wanted to be honest and clear with his intentions and that's the reason for informing them of this decision now. That's in the best interests of both Anthony's and the organization's future."

Davis is eligible to sign a five-year, $240 million supermax extension this summer. He can become a free agent in the summer of 2020. New Orleans has expressed no desire to trade him before the Feb. 7 trade deadline.

Davis' declaration on wanting out now gives teams other than the Boston Celtics a head start in pursuing trades for him. Restricted by the Rose Rule, Boston cannot trade for Davis until July 1 because league rules wouldn't allow Kyrie Irving's and Davis' contracts under the provision on the roster together. The Rose Rule allows players coming off their rookie-scale contracts to earn 30 percent of the salary cap rather than 25 percent if they meet certain criteria.

Irving becomes a free agent on July 1. Boston could agree to a Davis trade before July 1 that isn't finalized until after that date.

This is an opportunity for the Los Angeles Lakers to be aggressive in offering a package for Davis before Boston's inclusion into talks. Paul also represents Lakers star LeBron James, and the Lakers have been determined to acquire Davis in a deal, league sources said.

Most NBA teams will check on the possibility of a Davis trade.

Davis, 25, who is averaging 29.3 points and 13.3 rebounds per game, is currently sidelined with a volar plate avulsion fracture of his left index finger.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

Do the Lakers have enough assets for Anthony Davis?
Jan 28th 2019

Who has better assets to offer ?
Jan 28th 2019

      Boston would be next in line.
Jan 28th 2019
11
           for sure - but who would they actually offer?
Jan 28th 2019
13
                this does bode well for the lakers.
Jan 28th 2019

hate to see the youngins go, but
Jan 28th 2019

Kcp/Zo, ingram/Kuzma, ZuPac and a 1st should do it.

My guess is they get Kuz and Zo on the LAL end of a 3-way

I’d go to war with a lineup of Brow, Bron, Rondo,Sky-zu, & a corpse

Why wouldn't they want BI? He's better than PG.
Jan 28th 2019
16
Jrue would stunt his development.
Jan 28th 2019
17
DONE. if we could keep BI in this, oh yeah
Jan 28th 2019
29
*sly grin*
Jan 28th 2019

Yes, that's what happens during trade season
Jan 28th 2019
30
      its been clear all along...
Jan 28th 2019
36
           You're laughing at speculation because....more speculation

                that assumption was wrong...

Lakers are the most willing, which might give an edge
Jan 28th 2019
20
Does AD have veto power on a trade?
Jan 28th 2019
21
Nope, just the functional veto of impending FA
Jan 28th 2019
22
the biggest edge is AD's preference
Jan 28th 2019
23
It's this season and next
Jan 28th 2019
24
      didn't realize it was next season too
Jan 28th 2019
25
OKC wasn't supposed to have a shot to keep PG
Jan 28th 2019
26
PG and Kawhi didn't sign w/ Klutch sports
Jan 28th 2019
27
Kuzma and Zubac depreciating?
Jan 28th 2019
34
      Zubac is, at best, a toss-in in a hypothetical deal
Jan 28th 2019
43
           you're asking N.O. to take a big risk
Jan 28th 2019
45
I hope the Pels sit on it
Jan 28th 2019
31
correct, unless the trade involves Kyrie

of course he will. He ain't Kawhi

      To add Boston to negotiations, to raise the price
Jan 28th 2019
42
           they can do that - and there's definitely logic to that.
Jan 28th 2019
44
I'd consider it a huge win to get AD and keep 1 of the youngins.
Jan 28th 2019
37
never forget: this happened because KD drinks pee.
Jan 28th 2019
38
Doubt any deal happens by the trade deadline
Jan 28th 2019
46
Agreed.
Jan 28th 2019
47
Why would he play?
Jan 28th 2019
48
what about the timing tho? why would rich paul do this *now*?
Jan 28th 2019
52
      this is where I am, 100%...
Jan 28th 2019
54
      Certainly seems that way. But NO doesn’t have to comply.
Jan 28th 2019
57
      Clearly. But NO isn’t obligated to trade AD to the Lakers right now...
Jan 28th 2019
60
           Boston can't trade for AD until off-season due to trading for Kyrie

The point guard who hasn't played point guard in 2 yrs. Of course he is.
Jan 28th 2019

Smart play by Klay's agent

Supremely unfair how Klutch is doing the Pelicans
Jan 29th 2019
115
Klutch wants LA to keep as many pieces as possible
Jan 30th 2019
122
Pelicans like Ball...
Jan 30th 2019
119
Obviously, so do the assistant coaches
Jan 30th 2019
123
      agreed. Ball is going to be an all-star in this league.
Jan 30th 2019
124
           Of course he is. Especially if he's playing in the RIsing Stars game
Jan 30th 2019
125
                Just out of curiosity, I felt like seeing just how likely that is
Jan 31st 2019

It's funny because dude currently has good talent around him
Jan 30th 2019

nah AD spent a lot of time in N.O. and they tried to make it work

Giving up that much rarely works out well
Jan 31st 2019

So it turns the Pels into the '17-'18 Lakers, plus Jrue
