Davis scored 32 in 25 mins last week in his first game back. Alvin Gentry completely benched him in the 4th. The following game, Davis only scored 3. I mean, can you really blame him?
The Pels are a mickey mouse organization, Davis been there for 7 years and they have failed to surround him with real talents. Can't really blame him for asking for a trade.Mamba Mentality

I guess that AD injury he got in the last game didn't go over so well with the owners.
On the hard ass side of the coin.. you could say that the NO Ownership team is between weak and cheap/incompetent. The basketball side reports into a football guy. The Pelicans have to share medical personell with the Saints. NO looks like is a dime store operation who needs a tethered goat to be sacrificed to explain how badly managed and poorly funded they are by ownership.... enter Dell Demps. .There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Giannas got the Bucks to the playoffs....
Lebron got a pretty pedestrian crew in Cleveland in the last couple years to the finals....
Harden all by his lonesome gets Houston to the playoffs...
Just an observation.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Giannis have a great supporting cast around him. LeBron had Love and Irving in Cleveland. And Harden has Paul and Gordon and Capela...Mamba Mentality

So .. if he is all that and more.. why does his team come up a buck short and a day late 6 out of 7 years ?There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Pelicans were really good last year. Swept Portland before losing to the Warriors in round 2. And they did that without Cousins as he was hurt.
Not sure what happened to them this year.
They sort of remind me of the Wizards. And how Beal/Wall swept Toronto and then couldn't make the playoffs the following year. The difference is Wall stuck around and eventually got a super max. Davis wants to leave.
But the similarities are there.

Etuan Moore and Mirotic who both hit the 3 ball at a better than 35% 3 point rate....
A banger inside in Juluis Randle....
Its a fair comparison to the other teams supporting casts.... though I will give you that Love was and is an impact player that NO doesn't have .
But consider this...
Clint Capela ? The swapped in Kevin Faried off the scrap heap and Houston doesn't seem to miss ole CLint all that much. Chris Paul has been on the shelf for weeks and Houston actually won more. Eric Gordon isn't having the year this year he had last year ....
Giannas supporting cast ... he has Middleton who is as good a 3 point threat as is Moore/Mirotic percentage wise...Have to think in a school yard game.. Holiday goes before either of Brogdan or Bledsoe.
And yet there sits Houston and Milwuakee firmly in the playoffs... as New Orleans picks up the pieces of another year of failed expectations with Anthony Davis as the leading actor in this drama.Last edited by Demographic Shift; Fri Feb 15, 2019, 02:30 PM.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Dell Demps deserve to be fired for not standing up to the league. He should have said fuck you im not playing a player who asked to be traded and risk injury. NBA has no right to dictate playing time of a player to a team. This set a precedent for small market teams with superstar players asking to be traded. The pelicans neeeded to take a stand against the NBA and didn't dell was spineless.To be the champs you got to beat the champs

Oh and in the playoffs he's averaging 31 and 13. All while not having the power to initiate the offence and losing a couple seasons to injury
This Anthony Davis might be overrated thing because he's been stuck on a poorly run organization thing needs to stop. Man is the closest thing we've seen to prime Kareem.
Really hope he gets his "kevin garnett opportunity" so he can get some damn respect"you can't be playing checkers, on no chess board yoo!" - D'angelo
