Poll: % Chance Anthony Davis ISN’T Traded Before The Deadline?

[CelticsQuestFor18]

Did a poll yesterday asking what percent chance you think Kyrie stays. Now here’s another one! What percent chance do you think AD remains a Pelican at least for the rest of this season?

This I think will be the biggest story at the deadline even if other deals happen. Whatever happens (or doesn’t) could really change the landscape of the league (and maybe the C’s too).

I say 85%. Seems the Pelicans don’t want to do business with LAL and that’s good for us. But it will definitely feel stressful hearing all the rumors and reporting during the 24 hours right before the deadline date/time as LAL could make a massive push near the end. What do you guys think?

He wont be traded IMO. Pelicans have no rush to trade him prior to the deadline when they know they will get the same/better offers in the summer for him.

This whole push for AD to be traded by the deadline is a push from his agent who so happens to be....Lebrons agent. And they know that come the summer Danny ainge can blow their offer out of the water.

Guess Lebron isnt so happy with the "kids"

I read a report that the owner plans to get a new coach and GM this summer. He probably wont approve any moves until then.

But Lebron always seems to get what he wants.  So I say 40%.

The Pels owner is a woman.  I think you are correct about the GM and coach being replace so unless there is an extremely good offer I think it waits until summer.  85%

I say 70%. Still feeling a bit worried the Pelicans ownership will do something stupid and make it so Lebron gets his way, otherwise I'd say 80%+

100%

I''m pulling a Charles Barkley and guaranteeing that he won't be traded.

99.9%. It just doesn’t make any sense for NOLA to make any trade right now before either (a) Boston can get involved, or (B) the lottery occurs.

I'm still worried that the Lakers will get him, since they apparently haven't come up with a serious offer so far. And Paul and James will put pressure on Magic to risk everything to make this happen.

An offer of Ball, Kuzma, Rondo, Beasley and 1 first round pick isn't close to what they can offer in the end. What if the Lakers go all out, offer all future picks they can and make everybody available? Ball, Hart, Ingram, Bonga, Mykhailiuk, Kuzma, Wagner and Zubac. Need to flip a couple of these players for picks, but all that combined has a lot of value.

If it's enough has to be determined by New Orleans, but they would have to think about that, don't you think?

Would the Lakers end up with Davis, then I hope either this happens that they have nothing left besides James and Davis or (and that would be just very funny) that there's a three-way-trade with Detroit, where Griffin goes to New Orleans and James is shipped to the hopeless situation that is Detroit.

Oh man, that would be so great. That LeBron James has to stay the rest of his career in Detroit just to play to sell tickets for the Pistons and nothing else. A 3-year farewell tour.

(to be clear I still rather see a Davis to the Celtics trade, but seeing James being LeBronned would be so satisfying)

Any deal before the TD would only be bested later.

Lol if they offer all that then let them have it.

Lakers would legit have no one besides AD and Lebron. They round out with KCP, Rondo, Lance, and no bench.

I agree.

Would rather see the Fakers gutted than us giving up Tatum plus either Brown or Smart plus other players plus all our picks.

TP....I’d pay a lot of $$$$ to see that happen.

Problem is we’d never be able to enjoy it.

Le Baby would take his ball and go home and refuse to play/retire. Either way, not a bad outcome.
