Anthony Davis Says 'All 29' Other NBA Teams Are on His Trade List Amid Rumors
As Anthony Davis prepared to play in perhaps his final All-Star Game as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, he offered insight Saturday regarding the teams he would prefer to be traded to.ย
Appearing on NBA TV as part of All-Star media day, Davis said he doesn't have a short list of preferred destinations:
Shams Charaniaย of The Athletic and Stadium previously reported Davis' representatives told the Pelicans he'd sign a long-term extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, New York Knicks orย Milwaukee Bucks.ย
The big winner regarding Davis' stance would seem to be the Boston Celtics.ย
ESPN'sย Adrian Wojnarowskiย reported the Celtics weren't initially on Davis' list of teams he would consider signing an extension with.
Davis' father, Anthony Davis Sr., told ESPN.com'sย Ramona Shelburneย he wouldn't want his son to sign a long-term deal with Boston.
"I would never want my son to play for Boston after what they done toย Isaiah Thomas," Davis Sr. said. "No loyalty. Guy gives his heart and soul and they traded him."
The Pelicans will be able to shop Davis around to 29 teams this summer in hopes of receiving the best possible deal for the six-time All-Star.ย
Before getting to that point, though, Davis will have to finish this season in an awkward situation with the Pelicans and knowing they are likely headed for a divorce in the next few months.
