Teams are potentially giving up too much for Anthony Davis...Every rumor I hear basically rapes the franchises of just about all current assets and future assets going forward especially for those teams where he may have potential as being just a rental. I wouldn't trade for him without a guarantee otherwise I think I may just rather let him stay in N.O. and see what free agency is talking about that also may be good for N.O. also because he may decide to stay there and get the super max.

The Raptors and Thunder had the perfect storm of current productive players, prospects, and picks. So to me it will if he is ended up being traded between the following teams is the Lakers, Clippers, Celtics, and Knicks not in any certain order. But I put it on everything that the Celtics will do as they always do and send a low ball offer. The Clippers may be the team tossing everything at AD.

Now onto another thought. I believe the Lakers have promised to pick Darius Garland and I think they will end up making a trade involving Lonzo Ball/Brandon Ingram/Wagner/future picks and offer that up for AD....Which is a deal we know the Celtics can beat with Tatum/Brown/Smart/14 but are the Celtics trying to do all of that? the clippers may decide to try it but go about it differently by offering Galanari's expiring, SGA, Picks.

He’s asking for a monster haul that he won’t get.

Yea what a clown, Griffin should obviously be going into every negotiation on his knees begging like "Please Mr. Rambis, would you be ever so kind as to maybe part with Joshua Hart and a few 2nd rounders for Anthony Davis???:feedme: If that would please you sir?? :mjcry:" :mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::comeon::camby:

You realize Tobias fukkin Harris, with only 3 months left on his deal, was traded for multiple first rounders, 1 being the completely unprotected Miami pick, multiple 2nd rounders, and a stud young player in Landry Shamet, right?? I know it makes y'all fools mad AF but face facts: Anthony fukkin Davis in the prime of his career is getting a haul in return when he's traded, no matter what you have to say about it. :heh::umad:

The Anthony Davis situation continues to develop.

Last week, The Athletic reported in the Inside Pass that New Orleans Pelicans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin had begun listening to trade calls on Davis. Griffin, Davis and Davis’ agent, Rich Paul, met in Los Angeles on May 29 and Davis’ trade stance has remained unchanged.

Several teams have expressed interest in Davis, including the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics, league sources told The Athletic. Davis submitted a four-team preferred destinations list to the Pelicans in February, featuring the Lakers, Knicks, Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks, but it is believed that list has been narrowed in focus.

Davis is now focused on the Lakers and Knicks as the two desired long-term destinations, league sources told The Athletic. Davis has not given Griffin or the Pelicans a new formal list. He will be a free agent in 2020.

How could that impact teams such as the Celtics or Nets who are interested in Davis? It is unquestioned that a trade for either organization would provide a gamble for either Boston president Danny Ainge or Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks.

Several teams — including the Celtics — are aggressive about pursuing Davis understanding they would potentially lose him after one season, when he is set to become a free agent. The Celtics want to pursue Davis and believe in their roster with or without Kyrie Irving, league sources said. For Griffin and the Pelicans, the market for Davis could open even more after free agency begins, when the teams pursuing top free agents miss out on their targets.

Griffin has provided interested teams with a template for a deal, and he and his front office will pull the trigger only when a suitable deal emerges.

In LA, the Lakers have LeBron James and would provide an opportunity for Davis to be the face of the franchise in his prime. In New York, Davis would serve as the face of the Knicks and be the player version of a North Star — being the centerpiece of attracting other talent to Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks, owners of the No. 3 pick in the draft, have been motivated to pursue Davis sooner rather than later. The Lakers still have their young core of players intact, such as Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart, and the No. 4 pick. There is intrigue to see how the Lakers handle these trade talks, after providing less-than-appealing offers to the Pelicans during the trade deadline in February. For the Knicks, securing Davis would be a step to try to begin attracting talent around Davis with a significant upcoming free-agent crop in Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving.

Teams around the league expect Griffin to take a mindful and open approach to talks surrounding Davis leading up to the June 20 NBA draft. Davis, 26, is one of the NBA’s best players.
