    Agent Rich Paul has notified the New Orleans Pelicans that All-NBA forward Anthony Davis has no intention of signing a contract extension if and when presented and that he has requested a trade, Paul told ESPN on Monday.
    Rich Paul to ESPN on a preferred destination for Anthony Davis: "Anthony wants to be traded to a team that allows him the chance to win consistently and compete for a championship."

    He gone. We all knew that though. Good luck to the team who has to try to get in more than 50 games a year lol. Let the bidding begin!


    I survived Katrina, but nothing I owned did.

    Wow. Not too surprised at the facts, but very surprised by the timing. Good luck to him, it's on Dell now to try and get the best haul possible. I want multiple first round picks for close years.

    Will add though that I'm at least glad he hasn't done a Kyrie and listed certain teams he'd prefer. Doing that craters trade value.

    Announcing now gives the Lakers the most leverage.

    I just wanna be the first to say you know what. Good on AD and Rich Paul. They could have sat on this decision through the break and watched us trade a first for Conley. AD is willing to go through an uncomfortable couple months in order to help out the team that drafted him albeit not the way we hoped.

    I wouldn’t let Demps make this trade. Heck, get rid of him and Gentry now.

    Gotta run with Demos. You can't let a rookie GM make a trade like this. Think about when the Cavs had their newbie handle the Kyrie trade, and how badly that was bungled.

    If he doesn’t get traded this year, I wonder if he plays in another game.

    Last time Demps made this kind of trade, he bungled it too before Stern stepped in. And Stern was right. Demps is a lousy GM. Can’t let a lousy GM make this trade. I don’t think the Cavs previous GM was as bad as Demps.

    Sorry, you don't think the Cavs GM was as bad as Demps?

    Alright.

    You mean David Griffin? He didn’t much have control anyway. He was a Lebron guy and Lebron ran that team.

    The Cavs have been pretty much THE worst managed team for the last 20 years. Only the cant-miss signing of LeBron James and his willingness to return to them saved them from missing the playoffs for 16 years straight.

    The guy I really feel for is Jrue. Poor guy.

    Oh well.

    At least this spells the end for Demps and Gentry....right?
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Jrue is a millionaire. I’m sure the devastation of losing AD will pass. SMH
    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly

    Boston has the best package. Keep Davis til the summer. Can demps and Gentry now. Let’s see what finch can offer. I’m guessing he was hired to replace Gentry anyway. See what players we plan on keeping moving forward. Situation is better than we think. Fresh start with a good piece (Jrue) and very solid players (okafor,Randle,mirotic,Moore,Payton). I can see them all progressing with the attention Anthony Davis gave this team gone. I’m feeling good about this.

    We can only hope. Gentry should be fired immediately. Blow up team, build around Jrue. Trade Randle and Hill. I wouldn’t mind keeping Niko and Okafor as our bigs. Imagine a lineup of

    Rozier/Holiday/Tatum/Mirotic/Okafor

    Brown and Moore as 6th/7th men.

    How about Randall! Just got so heavily recruited by ad just to have him bail on you.
    Maybe that's why he signed 1+1. He probably knew and can now also bail next season.

    What an absolute joke and a waste of elite resources this past decade. I’m truly ashamed to be a fan of this team.

    Wait until the summer, fire Demps into the sun, and get Jayson Tatum.

    If Demps is any kind of respectable GM he already has a framework for a Davis trade. He should already know what he wants and who he can trade him to, to get what he wants.

    If he is scrambling right now the future of this team is screwed.
