The NBA Trade Deadline hits today, and if Pelicans C Anthony Davis remains with his current team after 3:00pm ET, the Pelicans "would probably look to shut him down to a certain extent." But if that happens, Davis "will probably file a grievance." This could in turn prompt some course of action from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver , who "doesn't want the stigma of teams tanking." Shutting down Davis would be a "really tough blow to try to pacify, especially the people of New Orleans, that you've got a healthy Anthony Davis wanting to play" ( "Posted Up With Chris Haynes," SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 2/6 ).
