Frankly, I have no problem with a guy who wants to re-sign with a team that he believes will give him a much improved shot at a title. I wasn't upset when Rickey Jackson went to San Francisco to get his ring because I believe that he did all he could to make the Saints a 'champion'. Obviously I would have no problem with a great player who is playing for a losing NFL franchise to consider signing with the Saints when he becomes a free agent if he can truly contribute and considers our organization as having the best shot at getting him a ring.
Just because Davis is the face of the franchise doesn't mean that he is obligated to stay here. But I do believe that if the Pelicans could assemble a top notch team around him that is ready to break through for a championship, he'd be happy as a lark to stay here. I don't believe that he has a problem with the city itself or the fans. He just wants to win a title while he still has the physical ability to make a difference for a team in the NBA.
