Anthony Davis started some more Pelicans Rumors when he told the media that all 29 other teams in the league are on his list of desired destinations. Let’s rank what each team could offer for him in a trade.
When the Pelicans Rumors began swirling last month in regards to the trade request Anthony Davis made to the New Orleans Pelicans, it was believed that there was a very short list of teams that Davis was interested in playing for. However, Anthony Davis flipped the script on everyone Saturday at All-Star Weekend Media Day when he told the world that he’d play for any of the 29 teams in the NBA besides the Pelicans.
"All 29 other teams are on my list. I don't have a preferred destination. I just want to win. I never gave a destination. Anthony Davis has never gave a destination where he wants to play."

I do not think AD could have been much clearer than that. https://t.co/jq7xcl60f0
If we’re taking Anthony Davis at his word here, this quote opens the door for literally every single organization to give the New Orleans Pelicans a phone call to see what they could offer the Pellies in return for their superstar.
The Pelicans will be selective, and they’ve already made it clear that they want a haul of draft picks and young, promising players in return for Anthony Davis. Not all teams have the same stockpile of assets as others, so with all of this in mind, let’s take a look at who could put together the best trade package for Davis, in order from least attractive to most.
