The Anthony Davis trade talks between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans at the 2019 NBA trade deadline were nothing if not contentious, and it doesn’t seem like the two sides’ time apart has necessarily healed all of those wounds.

I have been told that there’s no way Anthony Davis is coming here, through the Pelicans.
