Pelicans attempting to convince Anthony Davis to stay in New Orleans
Anthony Davis requested a trade away from the New Orleans Pelicans back in January, and the 26-year-old is believed to be still keen to leave this summer. However, ESPN is reporting that there are ongoing talks between Davis and the Pelicans:
•
Anthony Davis and David Griffin discussed the new executive vice president's vision for the franchise over breakfast in Los Angeles on Wednesday, league sources told ESPN.
Davis, who requested a trade in January, and Griffin, who was hired in April, are expected to continue a dialogue in the near future, sources said.
Davis, 26, can become a free agent next summer, but Griffin has been determined on selling him on the Pelicans through a new prism.
Davis has spent his entire career with the Pelicans, although he has stated his desire to play on a contending team. During his seven years in New Orleans, Davis has made just two trips to playoffs.
