The New Orleans Pelicans have been informed there are "a handful" of teams Anthony Davis would be willing to sign with long-term beyond the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks.

The Boston Celtics, however, are not on the list.

The addition of teams beyond the Lakers and Knicks could create more traction for a deal before Thursday's deadline.

Davis plans to become an unrestricted free agent in 2020 and sign a long-term deal at that point. Davis has no plans to sign an extension this offseason regardless of his destination.
