Warriors Focused On Signing LeBron James; Trade For Anthony Davis Seems Unlikely
HoopsRumors.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Golden State Warriors are currently focused on signing LeBron James in free agency rather than pursuing a trade for Anthony Davis, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
- Talks with the Washington Wizards regarding a deal for Davis have shown no progress, and the Warriors have told Jimmy Butler they are not trading him.
- Draymond Green declining his $27.7 million player option has given the Warriors financial flexibility to pursue James and potentially Davis, but re-signing Kristaps Porzingis complicates salary cap space.
- ESPN analyst Tim MacMahon expressed skepticism about a trade for Davis, citing the high financial commitment and the Warriors’ focus on maximizing their competitiveness during Steph Curry’s remaining prime years.
- Anthony Davis is owed significant money over the next two seasons and has a player option for 2027/28, but his recent injury history and contract demands make a trade to Golden State unlikely at this time.
