Davis on Extra 24 Million Dollars: ‘Can’t Control it’
A spot on one of the three end-of-season All-NBA teams stands between Anthony Davis and an extra $24 million on the maximum extension he signed with the New Orleans Pelicans last offseason. Davis said Friday that the decision is largely out of his hands. But he’s also well aware of what’s at stake.
“It’s a contract. It’s a contract. Twenty-four million dollars … they give out that for [full] contracts,” Davis said. “Can’t control it. You just got to control what you can control, and that’s what’s on the floor.”

Then there are the other members of the Best Five. [Gordon] Hayward won’t be opting out of his contract unless he has a long-term extension in place, which will be hard for a 30-year-old with a concerning injury history. Indiana is still home for the Haywards, and with Victor Oladipo looking to move on this offseason, according to sources, and Myles Turner possibly in the same boat, there could be an opportunity for Ainge to move Hayward and the abundance of draft picks in his war chest in a mutually agreeable way. Boston won’t have cap space again with three stars locked up long-term, so moving Hayward or Marcus Smart presents one of the few opportunities to get back a player making starter-caliber money.
