Boston's poor start to the season, which has seen them win just 11 of their opening 21 games, has led to some reports that they could look at making some roster changes before the trade deadline. The former ACC player of the year is waiting patiently in the Kings depth chart behind bigs Willie Cauley-Stein and Nemanja Bjelica, but it will be hard to keep them there if he can keep performing like he did in his 20 point and 17 rebound game against the defending champion Warriors.
Boston are supposedly on the list of teams he would consider joining, however the "Rose Rule" prevents the Celtics from essentially trading for Davis with Kyrie Irving on his current contract. 'But that doesn't mean I think we have to go and get something done right now.
"We don't impose our fear and will on other teams", [Marcus] Smart said. Quite a few teams are naturally interested in Davis, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics. That's how we've got to start playing for the rest of the year if we want to be one of those good teams in the East. "So with or without him, if we're not doing those things collectively as a team, it's going to be hard for us to win". "When we're playing at that type of level, then we're tough to beat, because offensively it'll take care of itself".
The Pelicans just got swept on a three-game East Coast trip, losing at Philadelphia on Wednesday, at NY on Friday and at Washington on Saturday.

The Celtics opened up their largest lead with an 11-0 run that began with three straight three-point possessions: Irving's floater in the lane as he was fouled, Irving's 3-pointer and Tatum's driving layup while being fouled. However, Sheridan suggests the Celtics should look at trying to move the point guard this year.
Anthony Davis had 27 points and 16 rebounds for New Orleans. The Celtics improved to 6-7 on the road.
Boston will enjoy three days off before hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.
With NBA teams upping the ante every season by taking more and more shots from beyond the three-point arc, it's critical to be able to defend that area of the floor, but New Orleans has often struggled in '18-19. Jrue Holiday scored 13 points for the Pelicans but also finished with eight turnovers.
