Pelicans not in a hurry to trade Davis while Lakers plan to make aggressive push to acquire him

The New Orleans Pelicans are not in a rush to trade Anthony Davis while the Los Angeles Lakers are planning to make an offer to get the forward before the trade deadline set for February’s 7.

Per ESPN, New Orleans is operating with an understanding that the Lakers’ best deadline offer could still be available to the Pelicans in the offseason — once the asset-rich Boston Celtics can become factors in the Davis discussions.
