Anthony Davis is a perennial MVP and DPOY candidate. He proved that again, even though he had a quiet night with a couple of solid blocks on Kyle Anderson and Noah. Clarification: his "slow" night is 25 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists. That's how good he is. The man is unreal, and he's just entering his prime.

Last season, with a rejuvenated Nikola Mirotic and Rajon Rondo and Jrue Holiday he rampaged his way to the playoffs after Cousins got tore his ACL right before the All-Star game. He finished third in MVP voting this season.

And he's contracted with the Pelicans, an average, celebrate-qualifying-for-the-playoffs team, till 2021. Garnett was someone who fit Davis' mold - MVP and DPOY winning big man who wasted most of his prime on the Timberwolves - and that is a sad scenario absolutely no one wants to see again.

Is it time for AD to demand a trade?
