2019 NBA Trade Deadline: New Orleans Pelicans have no pressure to move Anthony Davis before the deadline

The trade deadline is upon us. Our staff gathered round to discuss the mounting pressure (from the Los Angeles Lakers and Klutch Sports) to move Anthony Davis at the deadline, other possible trades, and goals for the remainder of the season.

Should the Pelicans feel pressured to make a deal for Anthony Davis by the trade deadline?

Preston: Absolutely not.

Sure, waiting comes with risks. Kyrie Irving could choose the Lakers this summer or Jayson Tatum could sustain a significant injury. Kevin Durant could choose to re-sign with Golden State, and Kawhi Leonard could travel to the Clippers, minimizing outstanding buyers to LAL, DEN, LAC and possibly Philadelphia.
