The Boston Celtics aren't one of the preferred trade options for Anthony Davis. Davis would view the Celtics as a rental opportunity.

Davis has requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Celtics have long coveted Davis and they've been perceived as the contending team with the most available assets to make a trade with the Pelicans.

Reports have suggested Davis' camp is not expecting Kyrie Irving to re-sign with the Celtics.
