Overview

  • Dallas’ Anthony Davis is widely described as the top name on the trade market less than a year after the Luka Doncic deal, with speculation intensifying this week.
  • Former All-Star DeMarcus Cousins wrote "AD to the Warriors would be interesting" on Nov. 13, helping push the Warriors into the center of the conversation.
  • One CBS Sports proposal outlined a three-team swap: Golden State acquires Davis, Milwaukee takes Jimmy Butler, and Dallas receives Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis, Kevin Porter Jr., Taurean Prince, and multiple future picks and swap rights.
  • Analysts note salary matching as a major hurdle, question whether Dallas would want Butler in a direct swap, and suggest draft compensation or a third team could be necessary.
  • Context for any move includes Golden State’s need for a true frontcourt upgrade despite adding Al Horford, Davis’ current calf strain and lengthy injury history, and his sizable deal reported at $54 million this season with escalating future years.
