It was a day many New Orleans Pelicans fans feared, but also many expected. Anthony Davis, through his agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Management, officially announced his intention on wanting to play elsewhere in the near future. While the Pelicans organization might have held out hope that they could re-sign AD this summer to an extension, in their heart of hearts they knew this was a long shot at best.
What may have gotten swept under the rug in all of this was that the Pelicans were trying to do a little shopping of their own this past weekend.
