Anthony Davis sits in 4th quarter, limited to 25 minutes.

If the NBA wants to avoid this sort of thing, they should find a way to discourage the tampering and collusion that we witnessed with the Lakers/Klutch/AD/Lebron. That's the sole cause of this situation. Davis isn't acting in good faith with his current employer.

The NBA has to take steps to make the game more about teams than it is about individual stars. I thought they took a step in the right direction by fining Davis. But forcing the Pelicans into operating against their best interests for the sake of marketing an individual player is two steps back.
