Anthony Davis professed his loyalty to the New Orleans Pelicans organization and maintained his commitment to the city during a conference call with international media.

While Davis is having another outstanding season, the Pelicans have struggled to put a competent supporting cast around him.

"I don't plan on leaving, so make sure you write that down," Davis said when asked about trade speculation. 

Another questioner asked Davis about an Internet rumor speculating that he and Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook could eventually join forces with the Lakers in Los Angeles, where his agency, Wasserman Media Group is based. 

"I don't pay attention to (the rumors)," Davis said. "I don't know who said it or how it came about. I'm with the Pelicans right now."

Asked if he thought a change of scenery in another NBA market might be best-suited for his career, Davis maintained his loyalty to the Pelicans.

"I like our team we have now," Davis said of the Pelicans. "We always are just kind of injured. It's tough to win games when a lot of the top guys are out."

Davis is in the first year of a five-year, $127-million contract that is expected to keep him in New Orleans through the 2020-2021 season.
