yeah I agree, Davis wants to go to the Lakers, LeBron, his agent Rich Paul and Clutch sports said to AD lets try and go public and force a trade before the deadline and stirred up a Hornets nest.  All that said, AD has always been a company man for the Pelicans franchise, worked hard, supported the city, said the right things.  Well when the backlash started because of his public trade demands AD was not use to being under public scrutiny and has not handled it well and the whole thing has backfired on him and he hasn't taken a liking to looking like the villain to speak.

All that said, most Pelicans fans expected AD to not sign the max deal to stay in New Orleans and look for a trade at the end of the year, however most believed he would do what he has done and play hard through the end of the year and make his intentions known publicly at the end of the season regardless of what was said behind closed doors.

Now, nobody is happy and both franchises are in turmoil, however the Pelicans are playing well which makes AD look even worse.  Nobody of sane mind thinks the Pelicans are better off long term without AD but right now they are clearly playing better when he sits.  In addition, I think when Davis made the comment that he would be willing to go to any other of the 29 teams that internally that upset many within the Pelicans organization. Most pelicans faithful are happy to rally around Jrue Holiday and see what happens in the off season.
