Celtics Need Pelicans to Play Waiting Game on Anthony Davis' Reported Trade Request

BOSTON -- We all knew it was a matter of when,  not if,  Anthony Davis would grow tired of losing in New Orleans. 

Well that time appears to be now, following a report by ESPN's Adrian Wojnawrowski based on an interview with his agent,  Rich Paul

And you can bet the Boston Celtics -- along with 28 other NBA teams -- will look into ways in acquiring the perennial All-Star. 

For the Celts, a deal for Davis can only be done if they are willing to trade away Kyrie Irving -- read Chris Forsberg's explanation here -- which they have no plans on doing. That means the earliest they can pull the trigger on a deal would be this summer. 

But are the Pelicans willing to wait that long? 

More to come . . .
