Re: Baron Davis asks to be traded
In keeping with the recent trends, Baron Davis and his agent are demanding that the New Orleans Hornets trade the two-time All-Star guard to improve Davis' chances to win an NBA title.
"After talking with Baron and evaluating what the Hornets organization has been doing this offseason, I'm concerned with Baron's current status and his future with the team," Todd Ramasar, Davis' agent, told USA TODAY. "Baron was really disappointed with them losing the first round of the playoffs. I want to put him in the position where he can contend for a title or at least be in a position where he can reach the NBA Finals."
Davis, 25, is in the second year of a six-year, $85 million contract and the Hornets said that while there are some issues that need to be addressed, they will not trade him.
"We've got to straighten out some things," Hornets general manager Allan Bristow said but would not go into any details. "He's our franchise player. There's no possibility we'll trade him. We have no intention of even inquiring about trading Baron."
Davis didn't name a specific team he would like to play for but Ramasar said that his client would be a good fit with teams such as New York, the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami. L.A. is the destinaiton that would likely make the most sense, as he is from the area and attended UCLA and the Lakers could use a quality point guard and in Davis they would have one of the best in the entire league.
"I trust my agent," Davis said. "He has my best interests at heart. I'm just focused to play well -

, maybe he's scared know since he's in the west. But if he ends up joining with the Lakers he doesn't have to do that.

Re: Baron Davis asks to be traded
Dude's 26, what gives him the right to be demanding trades so he can win a title. Plus he basically is saying that he's not a franchise player.-Rocky Balboa"Maybe I can't win. But to beat me, he's going to have to kill me. And to kill me, he's gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me. And to do that, he's got to be willing to die himself. I don't know if he's ready to do that."Comment

Re: Baron Davis asks to be traded
That would be another Mitch bumble. The Lakers go out and pick up another guard, and still is left short with no real big man for the future because they'd all be taking the cap space up for years on end, and they all need the ball to be effective.
Wouldnt be the best move in the world.Comment
