New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis can enter free agency next summer and be one of the top names on the market. His agent, Rich Paul, has apparently informed the team Davis wants out sooner than that.
Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Paul informed the Pelicans today that Davis has no intention of signing a long-term contract extension if and when one is offered. In addition, Paul says Davis has requested a trade from the team.
Davis could sign a 5-year, $240 million extension this summer and can become a free agent in the summer of 2020, Wojnarowski reports.
"Anthony wants to be traded to a team that allows him the chance to win consistently and compete for a championship," Paul told Wojnarowski.
Shams Charania of The Athletic also reports Davis has had conversations with his teammates prior to this decision.
