NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis says he has no regrets about his decision to ask for a trade from the Pelicans, but he acknowledges there is still a possibility he could start next season in New Orleans.
"I'm under contract still," Davis said during an end-of-year press conference on Wednesday. "I have a year left. Obviously it's a possibility it could happen. I don't have ill will towards anybody. I know that it's a possibility that next year I could be here as well. So I can't be mad if I'm here next year."
Davis acknowledged that the entire season -- and the ongoing saga surrounding his impending departure -- was strange.
"It got pretty wild," Davis said. "It's over with now. Just see what the future holds."
Davis says he must wait to see whom the Pelicans hire to be general manager. Dell Demps was fired in February, and Danny Ferry has been acting as interim GM.
"Seeing what happens," Davis said. "Seeing who the Pelicans make their GM and having a conversation with that person about the future. My time here has always been great. I love playing here. It's something that I will definitely hold in my heart forever, but the next step is waiting on the Pelicans [to fill] that GM job."
Davis, who has been linked to the Los Angeles Lakers since making his request earlier in the year, was asked what he thought of Lakers president Magic Johnson abruptly quitting on Tuesday night.
"I have no idea what's going on over there," Davis said. "What's going on with the Lakers -- I got a lot of other stuff to worry about."
Does Johnson's resignation change the way he feels about the Lakers?
"No," Davis said. "A great organization. Just like 29 other organizations. I have nothing to do with that."
Davis' decision to wear a "That's All Folks," T-shirt to Tuesday night's regular-season finale against the Golden State Warriors quickly went viral, but Davis said he wasn't the one who picked out the shirt.
"I didn't choose it," Davis said. "I actually didn't choose it. It was hanging for me already when I put my clothes on."
Davis couldn't recall who chose the shirt, but he said he loved all the characters in Looney Tunes.
"I love them all," Davis said. "I'm a big cartoon guy. Looney Tunes is actually my favorite."
Davis said he saw and heard some of the reaction from people on the Internet after the game.
"I saw some stuff," Davis said. "Well, I heard some stuff actually. Heard some stuff about Space Jam, I heard some stuff about [how] this is a shot at the Pelicans, 'Oh, this is his last game.' I heard it all, but it doesn't matter to me."
