Anthony Davis "is where he wants to be"

The Advocate
quote:
And Davis’ love for New Orleans notwithstanding, it had to be a selling point when Gentry and Demps met with AD and Foucher in Los Angeles on Tuesday night to finalize the deal, which was signed the minute it was allowed.
“Alvin was the icing on the cake,” Foucher said. “He’s going to come in with a style of play that’s going to get Anthony to the next level.”
“Anthony is not one of these guys who wanted to pick the coach, though. He feels very comfortable with the organization, including that they would make the right decision.”
That’s why Davis signed so quickly instead of dragging things out through the summer and conceivably into the fall.
“Anthony could have taken a two-year deal and waited for the real big TV money to kick in,” Foucher said. “But he said, ‘This is an unbelievable amount of money and this is the place I want to be. I don’t want to take a short-term deal and then have this conversation again two years from now.’
“He wanted everybody to know that, and he wanted them to know that now.”
quote:
“Anthony is not only committed to the game and to New Orleans,” Foucher said, “but he’s trying to make an impact with young kids.
“He wants them to know that if they ever have the opportunity he has, they should want to give back to the community, too. It’s more than just basketball.”
Anthony Davis became a Pelican thanks to the lottery numbers coming up right.
He’s choosing to stay because he sees this as the place to fulfill his dreams. That’s huge.
It also makes Foucher very proud.
“No. 1, I get to say I represent this guy,” he said. “No. 2, the New Orleans Pelicans drafted him.
“No. 3, I’m from New Orleans, and No. 4, he decides to stay in one of the best cities in the world. And the good thing is, this kid feels the same way.”

He's trying to challenge Brees over the next handful of years of becoming the most liked athlete in the city

Then why did he need to fly to Beverly Hills to have a steak dinner?
And the link is broken. Looks like an HTML tag snuck it's way in there. Here's a fixed link.

When you sign a contract for $145M, you eat steak wherever you want.

I know this is a joke post but..
When FA starts most teams have their GM and free agent teams in LA so that they can meet with free agents.
We did it with Tyreke. It is just where they meet.

Really? I thought everything was done by phone and travel and taking time to have dinner in Cali with AD was just a further signal that we weren't after any big FAs from other teams.
Smart assery leads to learning, only on TD

AD is happy in N.O.- That should make everyone's summer! That being said, we have a young superstar, now we need to get the right players around him.
