AD recently did a pod with Draymond Green.

quote:

Anthony Davis: New Orleans offered me a crazy deal at the time. Like it's not even about the money. Like I genuinely want to win. And so now because I want to win, I'm considered a villain to this team and to this fan base. And to this day, I go back and they still boo me, right? Draymond Green: And that's why they still losing. You don't boo the best player in your franchise history. You appreciate him. Davis: I’mma tell you what got me though. And you say that best player in franchise history like points, rebounds, blocks, like all this. You know what's crazy? When I went back, I did not get a tribute. And that was the final straw. Green: Get the f*ck out of here!!! Davis: Never got a tribute. I didn't get a tribute.


Also said he thinks he’d still be here if we drafted Ja over Zion

quote:

Green: So Ja Morant gets drafted number one instead of Zion and you're probably still a New Orleans Pelican. Davis: I think. Yep. I’d probably still be in New Orleans. Green: And you asked David Griffin to draft Ja Morant, and he didn’t.

Worst luck Griffin could have had was to have Zion fall in his lap

You simply couldnt pass on him for PR reasons, but all the red flags were always there

Friendly reminder we all know you told the team you were out before the season even started Toní.

We swing for the fences with Boogie, he blows an achilles, and thats the Pels org fault? We get the number one pick and you still want to dip?

frick off forever dude. You were soft then and youre soft now

Not to mention you tanking your value by saying you only wanted to go to the Lakers then using Rich Paul as your mouth piece makes you a whole bitch.

He acted like an arse, and now he won't have a fanbase that'll tribute him when it's all over.

This is such revisionist history bullshite

And there’s zero percent chance anyone was taking Ja over Zion. We would’ve been crucified for that.

He acts like he didn’t wear a “That’s all Folks” shirt his last game. He also said at one point that “all 29 other teams” were on his trade list, which was to attempt to say he’s not pushing Lakers which was BS but nonetheless alienates the fan base.

Additionally, he said he would post an instagram farewell to New Orleans “like every other star player does” and never did that.

I’d have been fine with them doing a tribute video for him but he definitely burned the bridge, whereas I don’t mind the way Chris Paul left, it made sense to leave a team that didn’t have an owner and he didn’t handle it in such a messy way.

New Orleans never forgets. Screw him. Since he left all he’s had to do is say: “Enjoyed my time with Pelicans, love New Orleans.”

But he won’t. Cause he’s a coward. Torched that bridge.

Plus just a flatout lie about how he would've come back.

I know this won't be popular in here, and I hate the "That's All, Folks" farewell, but he was and most definitely, still is, the best player the franchise has ever had,

If I had to rate them

1. AD
2. CP3
3. Jrue
4. BI
5. DWest

DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!! DEFENSE!!!
