When Anthony Davis signed on with Klutch Sports last year to be represented by Rich Paul, who is also the agent to LeBron James, there was rampant speculation the talented big man would eventually join the Los Angeles Lakers.
With Davis under contract at least through the 2019-2020 season, most believed the possibility was well down the road. James ignited matters when he openly said he would love to play with Davis as a teammate.
It prompted Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry to deem James guilty of violating the NBA’s tampering guidelines, and also emphatically state the franchise was not in the least bit interested in trading Davis.
