Alvin Kamara wants to stay home.

The New Orleans Saints star running back is currently in the midst of a tough season with the team, but that does not mean he wants to abandon ship.

Over a year ago, Kamara showed how unhappy he was with the team when he suddenly abandoned mandatory minicamp early in order to get a new deal. Kamara eventually signed a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension with the New Orleans Saints in October 2024.

Now, it appears that he might not see that contract out with the team.

Kamara has been at the center of trade rumors and a notable trade proposal that has him being sent to the New England Patriots, a team that is on the rise.

None of that matters to Alvin Kamara.

Did Alvin Kamara Threaten to Retire If Traded?

The New Orleans Saints’ 2025 season has gotten off to a 1-5 start.

Several problems affect the Saints’ ability to win games this season, and much of it is due to bad quarterback play.

Heading into week 7, several teams are facing a crisis at the running back position, which has led to discussions involving Alvin Kamara.

However, when asked about a potential trade involving himself, the 30-year-old hinted at a possible retirement if he were to be traded, as he stated: “I don’t want to go anywhere!”

He also added that, “I’m going to go drink a Pina Colada somewhere,” in response to him being dealt elsewhere.

Per ESPN:

“I don’t know where that came from,” said Kamara during a media session ahead of the team’s week 7 matchup against the Bears. “But I don’t want to go anywhere, and I’ve said it countless times. Ya’ll know that, I think everybody knows that, the fan base knows that. … If I was a GM, I guess I would go to the player and say, ‘Hey, we’re trading you, just so you know.’ So if Mickey (Loomis) comes down and says that, I’m going to go drink a piña colada somewhere.”

Kamara leads the team’s rushing attack with 314 yards and a touchdown through the first six games of the season.

He has also hauled in 22 receptions for 122 yards through the air as well.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
