Here are more details from ESPN:
Anthony Davis said repeatedly, “I feel like it’s my time,” as he spoke Friday for the first time since his trade request was made public.
“I gave the city, organization, fans everything I feel like I could,” the New Orleans Pelicans star said. “I don’t know how long I’m gonna play this game. People’s careers are short. And I feel like it’s my time to move on. …
“I feel like I’m in my prime right now, I’m playing at an elite level, and I want to make sure I take advantage of that.”
Davis was fined $50,000 earlier in the week after reports came out that his agent was publicly demanding a trade.
