Update 02/05/2019:

It's been reported that the Lakers have made a second offer to the Pelicans for Anthony Davis, an offer that is far more aggressive than what they've proposed for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in recent years. The latest offer is a package that reportedly includes Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Rajon Rondo, Lance Stephenson, Michael Beasley, and 2 1st round picks, in exchange for Davis and Solomon Hill, the latter of whom has $12.7 million left on his contract that the Lakers would be willing to absorb. 

At the moment the Lakers are still waiting on the Pelicans to respond to the offer, though analysts note that the deal is everything New Orleans had hoped to acquire for Davis, in terms of young talent, cap relief, and multiple first round picks. 

With that said, it's been reported that the Lakers believe the Pelicans have been one-sided in respect to negotiations, while they do have the ability to hold on to their superstar in the offseason when they can potentially be met with more options and scenarios. Meanwhile, the Lakers are up against the clock as the trade deadline is this Thursday (Feb. 7) at 3 PM/ET.

It should also be noted that the Clippers, Bucks, and Knicks are also teams that are being considered, as they each have stars of their own or the capability to get another star in the near future.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Lakers have made their first offer to the Pelicans for Anthony Davis as they try to get a jump on the trade deadline next week.

The Lakers reportedly offered Michael Beasley, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball, and a first-round pick for Davis. Reports noted that the Pelicans view that offer as a lowball. Sources that spoke to ESPN said the Pelicans have not responded to the trade proposal. Despite the lowball, the Lakers are still reportedly Davis’ preferred choice for now.

Original 01/28/2019:

One of the biggest names in the NBA will reportedly not re-sign in one of it's smaller markets, as Anthony Davis has made it clear that he no longer sees a future in New Orleans. Through his agent Rich Paul, Davis has gone public to say he wants to play for a championship contender, and that he wanted to be honest and clear with his intentions to leave. 

He is still eligible to sign a five-year, $240 million supermax extension in the summer, while he can choose to become a free agent in the summer of 2020. Meanwhile, New Orleans has not expressed any interest in trading him before the Feb. 7 trade deadline.

The announcement opens up the door for a potential trade down the line for Kyrie Irving, or the opportunity for Davis to join LeBron James in Los Angeles. It should be noted that LeBron and AD share the same agent, while the Lakers have been vocal about their desire to acquire the 5-time All-Star and former NCAA champion. 

All the same, it goes without saying that every NBA team will be interested in Davis now that he's officially on the market.
