The sequence of events that have unfolded since the trade demand heard around the basketball world have come fast and furious, so much so that it seems a near certainty we’ve all witnessed Anthony Davis play his final game for the New Orleans Pelicans.
At least that’s the hope.
On early Monday morning, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski announced in a tweet, “Anthony wants to be traded to a team that allows him a chance to win consistently and compete for a championship.”
Later that same day, head coach Alvin Gentry relayed to an inordinately crowded media scrum after practice that Davis had made it clear he expressed a sincere desire to return to action and finish out the season once his injured left index finger was no longer an issue.
