NBA Trade Rumors: Anthony Davis Looking to Leave Pelicans: Carmelo Anthony Just Wants Happiness

Stay up to date on the latest news and rumors from around the league.

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away and one of the best players in the league has asked to go on the trading block.

Although there is no guarantee the Pelicans trade Anthony Davis before 3 p.m. ET on Feb. 7, it does seem likely that he will be dealt before the start of next season. So from now until he does get relocated, there will be constant speculation about who lands the All-NBA talent.

Although Davis's future will likely dominate the discussion as the deadline nears, there are plenty of other players who could play a major role in the postseason picture if they are moved.
