Anthony Davis is still a few years from even entering the danger zone for a contract extension (one would think) and the period where the Pelicans would have to start seriously considering trading him if things haven’t turned around since he hasn’t committed to the team long-term. Davis has always stated his loyalty to the [...]

Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone was not thrilled after his team’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.
