Pels not answering Lakers calls per Lowe and Woj. Gayle on board.

The sluggish response time is perhaps a message that New Orleans places some responsibility on the Lakers for Davis' trade request, or perhaps an indication to Davis and his agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, that the franchise doesn't plan to easily acquiesce on a trade request to partner with LeBron James.

As of now, the Pelicans see no reason to deliver Davis to the Lakers in a deal with a full season left on his contract -- never mind do it on a timeline that benefits mostly the objectives of Los Angeles and Davis.

New Orleans officials are prepared to play the long game on Davis' future, embarking on an uncomfortable, if not combative process that could extend months beyond next Thursday's trade deadline.


quote:

Pelicans owner Gayle Benson is enthusiastically carrying the small-market banner, pushing back on any planned superstar union of James and Davis in the NBA's glamour market.

If Davis wants to be a Laker, the Pelicans' mantra so far is simply: Feel free to join L.A. as a free agent in 2020 and potentially punt on the 2019-20 season -- when James will turn 35 -- to keep the requisite cap space open.



What most of us expected here. Glad to see they are taking the stance of frick Klutch Sports.

Lots of good information on Boston as well inside.

The other one was just a tweet referencing what Lowe and Woj put together. Figured we would want the full deal.

Just look at the posts on the MSB and here. Lakers fans are the most entitled people on the entire planet.

I'm loving this.

There's been so many stories about any and everything since AD made the trade request.

I take most with a grain of salt and many don't mean much in the grand scheme.

But I feel like that every single thing that has happened since AD made the request, and there's been many little things that have happened, are just going sooooo well for the Pels. Not sure I could have dreamed it up better.

Love it.

Literally saw one on Twitter asking how is this legal when the Lakers have the best offer available right now.

It's like they don't understand we are under no obligation to trade him right now? Awful fan base.

You can't be a push over pussy. Watch what is addressed in the lockout. We are not the only team pissed about this.

Sure you can.

PG13 wanted to go to Lakers. Didn't happen. Kawhi would only go to LA. Didn't happen.

We'll be fine.

Counter with:

Hey, AD and 2 unprotected firsts for Lebron. That's the best offer on the table therefore you must send him to us.
