"The 6-foot-10 All-Star
desires to play in a big market that’s committed to winning, sources said."
"Davis informed teammates of his intentions before addressing the front office and none of his teammates was surprised, sources said."
"Initially, sources said, the objective was for Davis, 25, to pursue a trade during the summer.
But at 22-28, the Pelicans have the third-worst record in the Western Conference and signs of improvement are bleak. Davis has stated repeatedly that he wants to be in a winning situation that will give him a chance to compete for championships."
"If the Knicks are successful, it could boost their attempts to lure Kevin Durant over the summer, and they’d still be in position to snag Irving or Charlotte’s Kemba Walker."
"There’s pressure to surround LeBron James with elite talent sooner rather than later. James and Davis share the same agent, making the Lakers the most convenient and logical option."
You guys need to read the comments and references made about this situation. Davis is not coming to Portland. It is not a Big Market and it cannot compete for a championship any time soon. You can put together a thousand offers that would be better for New Orleans but Davis doesn't want to come here.
I do like the ideas you all are coming up with that have Olshey making good moves from the aftermath. Now those are all very interesting.
