New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis has changed agents and will now be represented by the high-powered firm that also counts LeBron James among its clients.

The five-time NBA All-Star announced an official agreement with Rich Paul's Klutch Sports Group on Sunday.

Davis still has two seasons and $52 million remaining on his current contract with the Pelicans, but he'll be eligible next summer for a maximum five-year, $230 million extension.

The move raises speculation Davis could put pressure on the Pelicans to trade him — possibly joining James on the Los Angeles Lakers — in much the same way former Pelicans guard Chris Paul forced the team to trade him in 2010.

Davis, 25, is coming off the best season of his six-year career, averaging a career-high 28.1 points per game and finishing third in the MVP voting. He led the Pelicans to the playoffs, where they lost in the second round to the eventual champion Golden State Warriors.
