Why Everyone Is Losing the Anthony Davis Saga

Anthony Davis’s honesty at All-Star media day was equal parts refreshing and uncomfortable. On one hand, Davis openly talked about his desire to join another team, eschewing typical boilerplate answers about how he just wants to play and let his agent handle his future. That’s the good news! On the other hand, it’s not exactly exciting from the perspective of a Pelicans fan to see one of the best players in franchise history publicly pine to be playing for any of the other 29 teams in the Association. As the Davis trade request watch drags on, one thing has become abundantly clear: Nobody seems to be winning.
