Interesting discussion from the halftime crew. They all seemed to agree that:
(1) New Orleans is NOT going to trade Davis to LA, seemingly both for not having the best package and for reasons of spite; and
(2) All of this is Rich Paul driven, including the father text tonight.
Disagree with Jaylen about IT, though. I simply don't see how what Danny did was wrong with IT. What was he supposed to do - stick with him and max him out? That was never going to happen, and IT ultimately screwed himself with all of the Brinks truck talk.
Further - Danny sent IT to the freaking reigning Eastern Conference champions to play with Lebron?! Sure, it didn't end up working out, but that's not Danny's fault. He sent IT to a good situation where he could still win and showcase his skills for a contract the following summer. Is it Danny's fault that IT's hip got that hurt? I just don't understand that argument at all.
