Anthony Davis clarified the comments he made during the All-Star Weekend in a last-ditch attempt to salvage a poorly-versed explanation of his shortlist of trade destinations. Davis requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans in late January.
“All 29 are on the list,” Davis said during an interview prior to a Friday night tilt against the Indiana Pacers, according to Andrew Lopez of the New Orleans Times Picayune. “Obviously, I just put them in order. But all the teams are on the list. No one is really excluded.”
He later clarified his comments on the Boston Celtics, after his father; Anthony Davis Sr. expressed his repugnance for the Celtics' front office at the wake of Isaiah Thomas' trade.
