The Anthony Davis trade saga that rocked the NBA world is still hanging over the league on its biggest weekend

• Anthony Davis did not get traded before the trade deadline, but his trade request has remained a major storyline in the NBA.
• At the All-Star Weekend, several players, including Davis himself in a candid media session, have been asked about the trade request and the resulting fallout.
• The situation has been ugly for the Pelicans, as they have been playing Davis, perhaps against their wishes, and fired their GM on Friday in a move that was reportedly aimed to take back control in the trade negotiations.
• The NBA is not happy with the way the situation has played out, and with Davis now unable to be traded for several months, the story is not going away.
