69. . 30-42. Previous: 22nd. New Orleans Pelicans. 23. team

Am I the only one who is thinking the Pelicans put the super max contract in front of Davis this summer to formally get him to turn it down?

Seriously — if I’m Danny Ferry, I force Davis to look me in the eye and say no to all those millions. He still probably says no, but make force the issue. And THEN trade him (yeah – I know I’m a mean General Manager, but I want to get the value)!
