Already in rumors

Davis’ trade rumors have been swirling since LeBron James announced his intention to enter free agency. Mainly from the Golden State Warriors, who made it clear that they would attempt to pair the two former Los Angeles Lakers teammates in the Bay Area.

Ultimately, LeBron signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Anthony Davis was not traded. Even while those rumors were going on, reports surfaced that Washington Wizards GM Will Dawkins was not interested in trading away Anthony Davis nor listening to trade offers.

Currently, the Wizards have a nice mixture of star talent, young players, and veterans making up the roster, including Davis, Trae Young, AJ Dybantsa, Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr, and Khris Middleton, to name a few.

Why a trade makes sense

A trade makes sense for several reasons. Starting with his extensive injury history, Davis has never played a full season and hasn’t played more than 60 games in six of his last seven seasons. Just last season, he played just 20 games with the Dallas Mavericks before suffering a strained groin and ligament damage in his left hand.

His contract also comes into play as he’s on the books for just one more season at $58.4 million with a player option for 2027-28 of $62.7 million. A high price for a player who cannot stay healthy.

Then, there is the young core. Davis turns 34 in the middle of next season, but is still playing at a high level when he’s on the floor at 20+ points per game. The offense would run through him whenever he’s on the floor and take away early development years for guys like Dybantsa and Sarr, players the Wizards selected with top-3 picks over the last three seasons.

We’ve seen glimpses of what they could become with Dybantsa putting up 25 points and seven rebounds during Summer League, and Sarr averaging a near double-double, 16.3 points and 7.4 rebounds. But the Wizards aren't expected to be competitive this year and keeping an aging vet on a large contract doesn't make sense for a losing team.
