David Griffin making an effort to keep Anthony Davis in New Orleans
Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesAnthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans completed one of the more awkward and toxic seasons that I can remember for a top 5 player (though some of LeBron’s recent seasons come close).
The Pelicans have a new man in charge of basketball operations in David Griffin (who navigated the Cavaliers rather successfully through several of those tumultuous LeBron seasons). With Davis’ very public trade demand on the table, the thought was that his first order of business would be to find the best deal possible.
Turns out, he wants to at least try a step before that. Griffin wants to see if he can convince Anthony Davis to stay in New Orleans.
