Overview
- Chris Haynes reports Atlanta is very intrigued by acquiring Davis, and Marc Stein characterizes the Hawks as a real-deal suitor ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
- Signals conflict on Trae Young’s role as Haynes says a Hawks offer would not include him, while Stein notes growing league belief Atlanta is more open to moving Young and could consider Zaccharie Risacher.
- Golden State has held internal discussions but is not actively pursuing Davis, with Stein reporting no realistic path without parting with Jimmy Butler or Draymond Green.
- Dallas is described as unimpressed with the Warriors’ current assets, and reporting indicates the Mavericks would prioritize expiring deals, picks, and young talent over taking back Young.
- Davis’ hefty contract and injuries loom over talks, with $54–58 million owed before a 2027–28 player option and only 16 appearances this season as he deals with a groin issue.
