Anthony Davis emphasizes the difficulty of transitioning from a losing team to a championship contender, citing Boston's success in 2008 as a rare example. He expresses a desire for a clear plan to execute a winning strategy for the upcoming season.
“I’ve been in this league a long time, and I’ve been with losing teams, been on losing teams,” Davis said Monday. “It’s very hard to be a losing team and then a championship contender, right? I think one team has only done it: Boston in ’08. The only team, right? Even when I was in New Orleans and we had two losing seasons, then we made the playoffs our third year — that, within itself, is a huge jump: showing that you want to be on a path to winning. “And that’s what it takes. So, if something comes out of the conversation where that’s the path — and, obviously, you won’t know until the season starts — that’s what I would like to see. What is our plan for winning going into next season? And how? Not like this is a plan, but how do we execute that? And based on that, we’ll kind of see what happens.”
