Before the New York Knicks traded Kristaps Porzingis, Anthony Davis seemed like the next NBA superstar to leave his respective team. He asked for a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, which led to him sitting for a few games, the public battle between now-former general manager Dell Demps and the Los Angeles Lakers and the Kentucky product’s injury before the All-Star break.
Of course, Davis did not leave via trade. He can’t, with the Feb. 7 deadline long passed.
Amid the chaos, 25 year old had a list of preferred destinations, per Marc Stein of The New York Times and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski: the Knicks, Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks.
