AD listed as questionable for the Chicago game on Wednesday now lol

Wonder if Lakers offer to take Wall contract if they get Beal, then redirect Beal plus original offer of players and picks to Pelicans for Davis? That might be attractive, although Beal plays same position as Holliday.

Aren't they considering not playing him for the rest of the season?

[celticinorlando]

Prolly not playing him because they want to get a lottery pick.

Anthony Davis - Questionable (Trade Block)

New Orleans' counter offer to the Lakers: Give us Jayson Tatum and Memphis' draft pick next season.

Count this among the risks for the Pelicans to wait until the summer to deal Anthony Davis - random injuries happen. Wall’s injury is particularly unusual/severe but guys can get hurt while just working out or at home. Could be AD, could be the player you’re waiting to trade for. …

Bizarre - fluke injuries happen so it's better to lock in the deal beforehand than be able to bail on them afterward? Hey you'd better snap up Brandon Ingram right now, or you'll be sorry if a piano falls on him in May.

She almost sounds like she's rooting for it to happen...

If you want, you could also go to https://en.gravatar.com/, then add your image there and they will give you a small one which you can save, and then paste here. That's how I did it. You just need to make an account but it's free.

Here is a LA Times headline:

“Lakers pull out of Anthony Davis trade talks amid 'outrageous' requests by Pelicans”

Warms my heart if true.

https://www.latimes.com/sports/lakers/la-sp-lakers-anthony-davis-trade-talks-20190205-story.html

Maybe the Pels are screwing with the Fakers. Good. Screw the Fakers and screw little Bron Bron.

Over the course of their talks, the Lakers had made several changes to their proposals, one person said.
“They wanted more and more and more,” one person said. “There was no more to give. They had cap-relief with Hill being in the deal. But the more they wanted, the more it became outrageous and unrealistic.”
One person said the Pelicans are hopeful Davis will want to play for New Orleans beyond this season if he isn’t traded by the NBA deadline at noon PST on Thursday.

Anthony davis comments on boston in 2017.. HE DOES NOT WANT TO COME HERE. PLEASE DONT TRADE TATUM FOR THIS GUY!!!!

https://celticswire.usatoday.com/2017/12/19/anthony-davis-boston-celtics-trade-pursuit-isaiah-thomas-new-orleans-pelicans/



"But in an interview with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Davis discussed the Celtics’ pursuit for his services last season and how his feelings about his place in New Orleans have evolved since the Isaiah Thomas trade.

“He told me that [Boston] was calling, but nothing was going to happen,” Davis said of Pelicans GM Dell Demps. “At the same time, though, you see how organizations treat players. Isaiah Thomas. DeMarcus [Cousins] told me that the [Kings] told him that he wasn’t going to get traded, but they traded him. Isaiah took his team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and they traded him.


“It makes you wonder: Does this organization really have my back? I’ve been loyal to this organization. I love it here. I love this team. I think we’re moving in the right direction. DeMarcus, [Rajon] Rondo, some other players that are helping us, but people get judged on winning. And I want to win.”

It is pretty ironic he is calling out the Kings and Celtics for trading their players before their contracts were up, but is demanding a trade before his contract is up after saying the organization was moving in the right direction last year?

More from the LA Times article, and if true, Pels are definitely screwing with them.

The person said the Lakers were not willing to give up the six to eight draft picks the Pelicans sought for Davis.
Late Monday night, the Lakers had changed their offer at the request of the Pelicans, two people with knowledge of the situation said.
The Lakers had agreed to send their entire young core of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and Ivica Zubac to the Pelicans, as well as veteran guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, those with knowledge of the situation said.


The Lakers also were willing to send two first-round draft picks, they said. Los Angeles also offered to give the Pelicans the salary-cap relief they wanted by acquiring Solomon Hill, who has another year left on his deal after this season for $12.7 million.

Definitely seems like it and I honestly don't have a problem with it. There was definitely tampering and despite LA's temper tantrum, that offer's not going anywhere.
