Can somebody tell the New Orleans Pelicans to take it easy? After it went public on Monday that superstar forward Anthony Davis had no intention of re-signing with the team, the whirlwind of rumors and speculation ran rampant on social media and press. I’m sure the ESPN trade machine page went into a frenzy with fans and media alike dreaming up their best scenarios for their team.
What may have gotten lost in all the hoopla was that the Pelicans had actual NBA games to play. The first of which seemed as daunting of a task as ever as before the game it was announced the Pelicans would be without the services of Julius Randle, Nikola Mirotic, E’Twaun Moore, and of course Anthony Davis.
