Brian Windhorst said in January that Anthony Davis, who at the time was disgruntled member of the New Orleans Pelicans and wanted a trade, did not have any desire to play for his hometown Bulls. It made sense: Davis and Rich Paul, his agent, were angling for a trade to the Lakers so the All-Pro could team up with LeBron James. Also, Davis wanted to compete for championships and obviously wasn't going to do that in the short-term future playing for what became a 22-win Bulls team.
