Anthony Davis should have played his final game in a New Orleans Pelicans uniform

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.
