Get to work, Danny. Get to work.
Why would he come here? Pelicans future as good as ours especially if Cousins returns healthy.
Pelicans future as good as ours? Not even close. They were mediocre with Cousins, their cap situation is restrictive, and they have no up and coming players.
I honestly think the worst thing that could have happened was Cousins getting a season ending injury because it introduced a what-if-factor. They were starting to play better together and given Boogie is done for the season, Davis I'm sure will want to give next season another try, but if they would have either missed the playoffs or get destroyed by Houston/GSW with a healthy Cousins then it would have been obvious for Davis that he needed to move on.
i don’t think Davis is willing to wait
During an appearance on ESPN’s “The Jump,” Davis explained that he’s heard of star players like Kevin Garnett expressing regret for waiting too long to move on to a better situation suited for success. While Davis doesn’t appear overly concerned about the Pelicans’ future, it’s clear he’s wondered if the grass is greener on the other side.
“When you hear that, it makes you think. I’m not going to lie, it makes you think because you wonder if you’re following in that same path,” Davis said. “But then again, you be like, ‘This year could be the year.’ You don’t know. So you just got to take it year-by-year and just see. See where the team is going, what direction they want to go to, and just see where they’re headed.”
He’s already bringing up KG. It seems he doesn’t want to end up on the tail end of his prime chasing.
