NBA Trade Rumours: 3 teams that Anthony Davis could join this summer

#2 Boston Celtics

Davis moving to the Celtics could be tied to Irving's future with the team

The Boston Celtics have been heavily linked with Davis over the last 12 months, and back in January, ESPN reported that the team had already reached out to the Pelicans:

The Celtics reached out to the New Orleans Pelicans this week and told them they'd be willing to discuss all players on their roster in a Davis trade that could be made after the season when Irving is expected to become a free agent, sources said.

If the Celtics are willing to include both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum in a potential trade, then there is no doubting that Boston leads the pack to acquire Anthony. However, with Kyrie Irving's own future in doubt, it remains questionable whether Davis would be willing to join a Boston team that lacks a second star. With the Pelicans having the final say on any move, this one could get messy.
