Stephen Curry and LeBron James may have earned the loudest cheers at Saturday’s NBA All-Star media day at Bojangles Coliseum on Saturday, but Anthony Davis made the most noise with his comments.
Davis, the New Orleans forward who publicly requested a trade away from the Pelicans in January, has been at the center of NBA discussions for weeks. With his contract due to expire after the 2019-2020 season, Davis’ trade request also meant that any team acquiring him would have to sell the six-time All-Star on signing with that same team long term. Until now, the teams Davis reportedly would sign a long-term contract with were the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
