Anthony Davis Should Go to Portland By Tyler McNeil
Indeed, some people think that Anthony Davis should be traded to the Celtics or the Lakers. However, the Celtics and Lakers are teams that have a chance to win the Finals, while the Blazers are one dominant player away from that. Therefore, Anthony Davis should be traded to the Trail Blazers.
Even though some people think that Anthony Davis should be traded to the Celtics or the Lakers, the Celtics and Lakers are teams that have a chance to win the Finals with their roster while the Blazers are one player away from that. Also, the Pelicans need a young impact player, which the Lakers and the Celtics don’t really have that type of player. Anthony Davis should be traded to the Trail Blazers because the Trail Blazers need another dominant player to play forward and the Pelicans need a younger star that can impact the game, just like C.J. McCollum. Anthony Davis also needs to find a new team to settle in and beat the Warriors so that they don’t win another championship.
First of all, Anthony Davis should be traded to the Trail Blazers because the Trail Blazers need another dominant player to be a dominant team. The Blazers have a great roster, but can’t find a way to squeeze through the playoffs and have a chance of winning the NBA Finals. If C.J. is traded, Seth Curry, who has the best 3-point percentage in the NBA, can start. Then, Aminu can dominate defensively as the small forward and the best defender, while Davis and Nurkic can dominate inside. Jake Layman can impact the game big time as a 6th man. Also, giving Wade Balwin IV and some other youngsters can impact the Trail Blazers in about 5 years.
Additionally, Anthony Davis is a very good player that can help a team beat the Warriors and their five all-stars in their starting lineup. The Warriors have dominated the Western Conference every year. The west is also very strong besides the Warriors. The Nuggets, Lakers, Rockets, and Thunder could also win the west. Including the Trail Blazers would be good for watching, because games would be more suspenseful, and for fans. The Blazers won 1 championship, in 1979. In 1992, they went to the Finals and lost to Michael Jordon and the Bulls. It would be very cool for a team like Portland to have a chance to win it all.
Finally, the most important reason Anthony Davis should be traded to the Trail Blazers is that the Pelicans need a younger star that can impact the game. The Pelicans want to win the trade, even though they are losing Davis. In the MLB, star players would be traded for prospects and young stars. But in the NBA, good and experienced players would be traded. If the Pelicans traded with Portland, the Pelicans would probably receive C.J. McCollum, Maurice Harkless, and draft picks and/or rookies or 2nd-year players. The Pelicans are obviously not going to keep Davis, so if they traded with the Blazers, they’d get impacted, too. McCollum is an athletic guard. He only plays shooting guard because of Lillard. But, at Lehigh, he was a star point guard. When the Pelicans sweep the Blazers in the playoffs last year, Jrue Holiday impacted, but as a shooting guard. So, McCollum could play point guard and Holiday could start at shooting guard. Finally, when C.J. McCollum gets hot shooting-wise, he is game-changing. He doesn’t miss when he dominates.
