In a loss. At home. To Denver.

Dude needs to come play with Barnes, Matthews, and our young core. Only way he's going to get help.

I know you're kidding but what a waste he's under contract through 2020. Nobody wants to go play in New Orleans regardless if AD becomes the best player in the NBA eventually. It would have been interesting if Chris Paul never left teaming Paul with Davis.

But this past season instead of gaining better players they lost a few of what would probably be considered their better players (Gordon/Anderson both in Houston) while they added Terrance Jones for dirt cheap and took a gamble on Lance Stephenson but didn't do much else of note. I don't see Davis staying there past 2020 but that's a while away and in the meantime they will probably only sniff the 8th seed if that. I don't understand the coaching change either, they're a mess.

He could (should) force a trade...

He has no leverage until he's an expiring most likely, even if they suck he probably brings the team a lot of revenue in. I mean who do you trade him for anyway? There's no way you get anywhere close to equal value.

Here's one thought: to the Knicks for Porzingis? I don't know even that's a highway robbery in favor of the Knicks. Can't see many trades New Orleans would agree to. There's a lack of superstars currently in the NBA.

AD to Golden State for Draymond and Iguadola? Lol.

Even someone like Lamarcus Aldridge is ridiculously in favor of the Spurs. Imagine though Pop coaching Davis.
