The All-Star festivities are upon us and the NBA Trade Deadline is firmly in the rearview mirror. Even with those to factors in mind, the shadow cast by Anthony Davis’ trade request looms over the entire league. During his trip to Charlotte, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver shared his views on player-driven trade demands.
ESPN’s Dave McMenamin recorded Silver’s explanation of how he wished trade demands would be handled.
“I would just say, blanketedly, no, I don’t like trade demands, and I wish they didn’t come, and I wish all those matters were handled behind closed doors,” Silver said Saturday at his annual news conference at All-Star Weekend.
