Anthony Davis still committed to Pelicans
http://clutchpoints.com/anthony-davi...ns-slow-start/
My desire to win here is the same. I go out there and play. I don’t care what the record is. I just go out there and play. I have to lead this team and make sure my guys are always happy and high energy. I don’t care what people say about our team. They’re not in our locker room seeing us, not part of our group. That’s all white noise.
“I just try to control what I can: go out there and compete.”
Well, he is obviously using reverse psychology and actually saying he wants to be traded.
HE STAY
Seriously though, he doesn't seem to have the personality to be a malcontent. He just signed a four year deal and if the team can trend in the right direction we will see where he is if he opts in or out of the fifth year. If they continue to miss the playoffs and not improve, would anyone blame him for leaving?
Yeah he is not the type to force this issue right now barring some major turmoil.
A few years from now? That's a different story. It's one thing to rationalize it now when it's years away, you are still in the honeymoon phase of your first enormous pay day and no one is rolling the red carpet out yet.
I still say, if this team is not near or in title contention he will move on. It's partly why I am bittersweet on Jrue's rejuvenation of this team. We could really use a Josh Jackson or some other potential superstar. With the money anticipated to retain guys and the money already given out, plus our depleted assets and lack of winning reputation amongst big name player free agents, the draft is our only real chance at another superstar imo.

Be he wants to be traded though.
At this point it really doesn't matter. Your glad he's saying the right things, but it'll hurt him as much as the team to come out and demand a trade less then 18months after signing the contract he's on plus he has little to no say in the matter as of right now. If he's saying this year 4 of the 5 year deal I'll feel a lot better.
It is nice to hear but what else do you really think he is going to say lol
Kevin Durant was committed to OKC forever! Whoops.
Is Davis even playing right now and we are up by 26 right now? You mean this team is learning to adjust without Davis? Dell Demps is smiling right now.

He's going to give us every shot to build a legit team around him, but when that contract is up, if we still suck or just a middle of the road team....watch out.
So you could be excited about the next 4 years, but you chose to start worrying about what might happen during the 5th. Ok.Originally Posted by RaisingTheBar

What the hell are you smoking? No one said anything about not being excited or worrying about anything. Go away.

Anthony Davis records his third 40/10 games this season, and all the rest of the league can do is watch. pic.twitter.com/0G7FlN4Q3y
