With seemingly every sports news story being about Anthony Davis’ trade request, we’re learning new information almost hourly with what his thinking and desires may be. Initial indications were Davis preferred the Los Angeles Lakers and would treat a trade to another team as a one-year stop.
Although L.A. has worked to complete a trade with the Pelicans, frustration over exorbitant demands and lack of clarity from general manager Dell Demps led to them withdrawing from talks. As of Wednesday morning, the Lakers had not received a counteroffer.
If Davis is traded before Thursday’s deadline, odds are it would be to the Lakers.
