Lost in all of this is Anthony Davis’ role in free agency. Source w/ team said if AD wanted Cousins back, GM Demps would have listened. Davis liked the style the Pels started to play without Cousins, and he also liked the environment in the locker room more with Boogie absent.

Hadn't seen this posted yet. Doesn't surprise me, really. I'm not sad to see him or his attitude go, I just wish we had gotten something in return.

That was posted a bunch, but it never had its own thread.

No need to delete at all. Many people may not have seen this as it was buried in other threads.

I have not seen this yet so thanks to op for starting thread. This brightens my mood a little on the Pels and AD

I think the locker room chemistry will be fantastic this year. You have a bunch of likeable dudes who all get along and want to go out and compete together. I think Randle will add to that. They'll miss Rondo for sure, but AD/Jrue/Niko seem to genuinely like each other.

Good to start a thread on it.

In all of this, the best news for the Pels is that Davis seems ready to embrace his destiny as a 5.

Shifting more of his time there lifts the ceiling of the team considerably

I think having a big-bodied guy like Randle down low helps. He can guard some of the bigger centers during the regular season and take some of the wear and tear off of AD.

AD is an MVP caliber player when he doesn't have to split the ball with Boogie.

No shite he would rather play without him

No, it means you do not post over 100,000 useless posts trying to act as if you are better than others because of your post count.

Jrue, Rondo, and AD himself have talked about him taking over more of a leadership role. He's young so it's new to him, but there have also been reports this offseason of the Pelicans front office running every decision by him.

AD is slowly but surely taking over this franchise. As he should. He's young so to expect it any sooner than this would be kinda foolish.

Style I believe.

We definitely played better after he went down.

Locker room? Idk I thought They were bros. Wore the dudes name at the all star game and everything.

I think AD did that because he is a genuinely good guy. Demarcus seems like a drama queen, so I'm not surprised that the locker room was better without him.
