NBA Trade Deadline: 5 surprise names that could be moved
Anthony Davis, New Orleans Pelicans
As the New Orleans Pelicans continue to tumble down the Western Conference standings (which will likely get worse before it gets better, with AD expected to miss the next 1-2 weeks), there is a decision that needs to be made.
Should the Pelicans test the trade waters on Anthony Davis ahead of the 2019 NBA Trade Deadline? His trade value is not going to be any higher than it is now, and is only going to decline with every passing day (due to his expiring contract).
It wouldn’t be a popular move to make, but the likelihood that Davis re-signs with the Pelicans this summer continues to shrink with every disappointing loss.
It might be time for the Pelicans to come to their senses, and everything we know about their current situation suggests that they should trade Anthony Davis sooner rather than later.
