New Orleans general manager Dell Demps has had no communication Wednesday with Lakers president Magic Johnson on L.A.'s most recent trade offer for All-Star Anthony Davis, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Lakers are running low on hope that the Pelicans will engage them before Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline, the sources said.
Johnson wanted the Pelicans to start offering counter-proposals to offers on Davis, threatening to end talks unless the Pelicans showed a willingness to engage in a back-and-forth on reaching a deal.
The Lakers had added two more young players -- Josh Hart and Ivica Zubac -- to a trade package that already included Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball and two first-round picks, sources said.
