One of the most explosive statements from David Griffin's introductory press conference regarded his approach to Anthony Davis. Griffin has already spoke with AD's agent Rich Paul and has a sit down scheduled with Davis himself soon.
Naturally, that statement became the biggest national story of the press conference. Griffin, who has history with Rich Paul's Klutch Sports agency thanks to his years in Cleveland, is not yet resigned that Davis must be traded. Griffin followed that proclamation with another, either Davis would be all-in or all-out.
The New Orleans Pelicans, and only the New Orleans Pelicans, can offer Davis the designated veteran extension on July 1st.
