Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis has signed with agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, the company announced on Sunday. Klutch Sports represents 20 NBA players, most notably LeBron James, per ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link).
As we noted earlier this month, Davis parted ways with longtime agent Thad Foucher and that Paul was the leading candidate to become his new representation. Davis, 25, has two years and $52MM left on his deal with the New Orleans in addition to a $29MM player option for the 2020/21 campaign. It will be key to watch how Davis’ new representation handles the five-year, $235MM max extension he will be eligible for next summer.
In 75 games last season, Davis averaged 28.1 PPG and 11.1 RPG, finishing third in NBA Most Valuable Player voting.
There have been waves of trade speculation surrounding Davis, who could eventually look to join a bigger-market organization if the Pelicans don’t move any closer toward title contention within the next year or two.
LA bound
Lebron and Davis doesn’t mean an automatic title.
Throw in kd and you have the best of all worlds. Best shooter, all around passer, and best stretch center in the league. Funny people are talking less smack now the lakers vision is coming through.
What a joke, I hope you people aren’t still in your imaginary world that Lebron can pass MJ. It irritates me to even put Lebron in the same sentence with Jordan.
I dont think lebron is on same plain as mj by any means but he has a knack for making average teams better. Throw in best scorer in kd and best center in davis and you have a recipe for success.
Just think about it lebron got a talentless team in the cavs to finals give him kd and davis and no other team has a chance gsw included. Gsw gonna run into problems no that all there players want max pay days.
You’re the only one here that did it. Your LeBron obsession is weird
Whatever dude, it’ll be funny when you get pissed that the Dubs get ADavis. Won’t matter if KD jumps to the Lakers.
Durant isn’t going to the Lakers, stop dreaming.

Roster would be loaded. I think kuzma will develop but be delt for davis along with multiple first rounders. Crazy!!
Again where is the need to even watch the sport? When you have the top 3 players in the game on one team? To compete against who? It’s sickening how some of you want to even see that garbage. I can’t wait till Lebron James retires so we can get back to a competitive era where all this teaming up stops and we can actually enjoy watching a rivalry.
Not saying i want this but to compete with gsw its what has to be done. I want the lakers to win rings so….
What a bunch of crybabies, GS develops a core they drafted and signed a free agent and all you fools are acting like the Warriors are some unstoppable machine. The Lakers did the same thing, they drafted well and added a free agent in Lebron, what’s the big deal? A number of teams could have had Curry,Klay, and Green and all you butthurt fans are mad because Golden State built a championship team from the ground up? You are all pathetic.
Lets see them accomplish this again anytime soon post West tenure

And the Lakers & Celtics never had 3 great players ever on one team in any decade?
How old are you Dionis
