Quote
The New Orleans Pelicans have no interest in trading five-time All-Star center Anthony Davis to the Los Angeles Lakers at the moment, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, who said as much on NBA Countdown Wednesday (h/t The Render and SLAM).

The 25-year-old Davis, who is averaging 29.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks this season, has formally requested a trade. He's been connected with the Lakers, to the point where Dave McMenamin of ESPN wrote that a source told him the "speculation is 'weighing heavily' on several of [the Lakers' young players]."

Wojnarowski previously reported that the Pels "won't make a deal before [the February 7] NBA trade deadline unless they're offered an overwhelming package." These latest comments seem to partially confirm that notion, especially with the Lakers standing as one of the most obvious trading partners for the Pels.

For all the naysayers and negative Nancies out there, maybe this will settle you down for a bit.

It was obvious from the get-go with all of these "rumors" that Rich Paul and the rest of them were doing everything they could to get AD before the trade deadline. Well, obviously that didn't sit too well with NOLA, who looks like they will spitefully refuse to deal with LA at this point. (Not that they should anyways with Boston's looming offer this summer.)
This is a day old, but Jalen Rose's take on this situation, I think, is spot on.

I think this could get real ugly - especially if Davis refuses to play and the Adam Silver doesn't get involved.  It does make zero sense for NO to do anything until the summer.  As Jalen says, their season is already ruined.  And Davis just basically told his teammates they're all not good enough.

Give Rich Paul and LeBron credit - they've opened Pandora's box.  This stuff will be more entertaining than the playoffs are likely to be.

Which unfortunately, he will say absolutely nothing about.(Tampering)

Will be interesting to see if he comments on his knowledge of Kyrie's long term plans for where he will be playing or locker room problems caused by youth vs vets or anything to do with Davis situation without making tampering type comments

My guess is he says a lot of nothing, like most weeks when he is doing radio interviews.

FWIW: Pelicans intro video pregame included the entire team except for Anthony Davis.

Could it mean that the Lakers are on to him?

I think he means he has played his last game in NO and my guess is that he will sit till the end of the season

If we do manage to get AD and Lakers fail to get him it will be like banner 18.
It will come down as one of the more defining moments in our rivalry.

One of the greatest players of our generation who is only 25, excellent two way player, is not getting traded for nothing less than one of those two as a starting point. Let's stop being delusional. Pelicans do not want Hayward, or Horford. Those two if included in a trade are getting sent elsewhere... Please STOP BEING DELUSIONAL AND GET REAL AND SMELL THE COFFEE!

um, no.  Banner 18 will be like Banner 18.  Keeping AD away from the Lakers will be a bonus for us if we get him.  it becomes a bigger bonus if it nets us Banner 18

He's going to be in the Hall of Fame.  You can bank on that.  Now the real question is how high he will get on the echelon but his base right now is HOFer.

Agree 100%.  I'll be crushed if he goes to the lakers next week.  If he goes to another team other than the lakers I'd be disappointed but feel good going forward with what we have (though some adjustment will be needed as the makeup of teams between youngs and vets who deserve minutes is not optimal).  If he goes to the lakers a year and half from now?  So be it.  Lebron will be 36 that year.

I won't be crushed. I like the young pieces and picks. Biggest concern is if Kyrie stays or goes...if he walks...so be it. Resign rozier as the starting PG and lets go forward.
