Anthony Davis trade rumors have started picking up steam again, as it’s clear that even with a new front office and generational prospect Zion Williamson on the way, AD wants to be elsewhere. While the Clippers were listed as one of Davis’ preferred teams to be traded to, a deal between the two teams has never seemed likely. This is because, as I discussed on a Pelicans’ podcast yesterday, the Pelicans will want Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the Clippers don’t want to part with the promising guard.
Today, we got even further confirmation that this is probably the reason that the Clippers haven’t been mentioned more as an AD destination.
