The New Orleans Pelicans are more than likely dealing away Anthony Davis this summer. Davis has maintained his strong stance on his trade demand, forcing David Griffin’s hand. Shams Charania reported on the Athletic (subscription required) that the Lakers, Clippers and Knicks are Davis’ most preferred destinations.
New Orleans will consider those offers, but will try to bring in other bidders as well. The Pelicans should put in a call the Chicago Bulls, Anthony Davis’ hometown team. Davis has only asked for big market teams in Los Angeles and New York. Sending Davis to the Second City could benefit the Pelicans three years from now.
