Anthony Davis Focused On Blocking Out ‘White Noise’ Generated From Lakers Rumors

Anthony Davis could very well remain with the New Orleans Pelicans through the 2020-21 season should he exercise a player option, but there already has been plenty of speculation over where his career may take him.

Davis was long considered someone who the Los Angeles Lakers would eventually target and that was amplified when he switched agencies to Klutch Sports in order to be represented by Rich Paul. He of course is LeBron James’ agent, close friend and business partner.

Then, when asked about the possibility of playing with Davis, James openly welcomed the idea. It set off a media firestorm and reportedly angered general managers of small-market teams who believed James violated the NBA’s tampering rules.
