Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans named four preferred teams just days before the Feb. 7 trade deadline. These teams are the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks. However, according to an NBA Insider, only one team has a legitimate chance at landing Davis.

Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, among the four teams that Anthony Davis mentioned, its the Clippers who possess the assets and therefore can make a run at him in the summer. Not only can they arrange an attractive trade package, but they also have the cap space to absorb another max player:

“Right now the only team that might have a pathway are the Clippers. They want to be in free agency this summer in a big way. They have space for two max slots. Kawhi Leonard is a focus for them on free agency,” Wojnarowski said.

“It is conceivable they could toggle together picks and young players and make a run at Davis.”

This, of course, is provided that a trade for Anthony Davis does not push through this week.

Recent reports have revealed that trade talks between the Lakers and the Pelicans have fallen off. The aforementioned teams, including the Clippers, have not placed anything on the table. Popular belief is that teams are going to wait for the summer before aggressively chasing Davis.
