Report: Warriors interested in trading for Anthony Davis
Bullets Forever • • sports
Key Points:
- The Golden State Warriors are pursuing a trade for Washington Wizards forward Anthony Davis, with any deal likely involving Jimmy Butler's contract as a key component.
- Butler, recovering from ACL surgery and set to earn $56.8 million in 2026-27, would become a free agent after that season, potentially providing the Wizards with significant cap relief.
- Davis has not played for Washington due to injury and has expressed uncertainty about staying without a clear winning plan, while the Wizards have indicated a desire to keep him.
- Reports suggest a "package deal" involving both Davis and LeBron James joining the Warriors, with Draymond Green declining his player option to facilitate the move.
- The Warriors would likely need to offer multiple assets, including unprotected first-round picks and taking on Butler’s salary, to secure Davis and James and bolster their core alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
