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?
