NBA Trade Rumours Roundup, January 29th: Anthony Davis to Lakers update, Grizzlies want Gasol and more

Pelicans issue statement on Anthony Davis

Detroit Pistons v New Orleans Pelicans

The future of Anthony Davis was the talk of the NBA community yesterday, as it was revealed that Davis wanted to be traded. The 25-year-old also stated that he wouldn't be signing an extension with the Pelicans, and this news was met with excitement by Lakers fans. Nevertheless, the Pelicans have since released this statement, suggesting a trade is not imminent:

Relative to specific talks of a trade, we will do this on our terms and our timeline. One that makes the most sense for our team and it will not be dictated by those outside of our organisation. We have also requested the League to strictly enforce the tampering rules associated with this transaction.

So far this season, Davis has averaged 29.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and the 5-time All-Star remains under contract with the Pelicans until 2020.
