Anthony Davis has better options than a homecoming with the Chicago Bulls. Please stop the nonsense train right at the first station.

Davis recently made waves in the media due to his comments about a potential stint with the Chicago Bulls. Before a game between his Los Angeles Lakers and the Bulls, Davis gave a nod to his hometown, claiming Chicago, not New York, is the mecca of basketball.

“It is,” Davis told reporters on Monday, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. “We’ve got the best basketball players ever. You look at the history with all the guys we’ve got that made the league and even the guys that didn’t make the league. They say New York, but it’s not even close.”

Those comments would later avalanche into an appearance at a local Chicago sporting goods store, in which Davis left the door open for a potential signing with the Bulls as a free agent.

Please stop this madness.

It's worth remembering Davis is well-compensated for these appearances and crushing the hopes of local fans with a “naw, I'm good” is simply not good for business. Not just Davis' business, but also the NBA's business — which has become a 24/7, 365-days-a-year news cycle — with the offseason being a huge part of it too.

Imagine Davis letting down a bunch of fans on Cubs and Bears gear, right behind the jerseys of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, who are revered in The Windy City to this day.

But Davis simply has better options at hand.

His Lakers are 5-1 and atop the Western Conference right out of the gate, and the promise is ample with this roster. LeBron James has ceded most of the scoring opportunities to Davis and he's in a great position to not only fight for the best record in the league but also garner MVP votes at the end of the season.

Offseason rumors start with subtle hints, but going out on a limb to say that Davis is forecasting a potential move to the Bulls is tying a string way too tightly between veracity and hypocrisy.

Bleacher Report's Sean Highkin said it best in true sarcastic fashion:

Are the Bulls really the best spot for Davis' career?

Chicago has put work and time developing Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr., and while both players would be axed out of the lineup in a heartbeat if Davis did want to sign with the Bulls — no one is calling general manager Gar Forman and vice president John Paxson to make this deal come free agency.

Davis has a clear pathway to championship opportunities with the Lakers and he's not about to trade that to play alongside Zach LaVine and a struggling Otto Porter Jr.

Not a chance.
