Thank you Anthony Davis! (Payton Related)

"There was a deal in place but it had to be super top secret, no one could know about it because it would break so many rules and huge major rules had to first be addressed with fake interviews... but people couldn't know they were fake and it all fell through because of an NBA player."

Florio's article is really something that the more you read it out loud, the dumber and dumber and more ridiculous it sounds.

Agreed.

I find it extremely hard to believe that all of this was done within a week of the No Call. Frankly, that’s crazy.

And if Gayle was OK with Payton switching teams in the wake of the No Call, then it seems highly unlikely that she would’ve been deterred by Anthony Davis requesting a trade (particularly when everyone knew he was going to do that anyway).

And in what world does a team trade it’s coach away when it was the No. 1 seed in the NFC and should have been in the Super Bowl? Our “window” was still wide open.
