Overview
- The Mavericks are listening on Anthony Davis but want expiring contracts and a promising young player, and they are not interested in taking on Trae Young’s deal.
- Davis’ representatives doubt a Dallas extension is forthcoming and are seeking a team prepared to extend him, though reporting says Davis would prefer to stay in Dallas if a summer deal were possible.
- Toronto and Atlanta are the only clubs publicly identified as active Davis suitors, while Golden State and Milwaukee have looked at scenarios that appear unlikely due to contract, injury or asset constraints.
- Atlanta and Young’s agents have begun collaborative trade talks, with the Wizards engaged in serious discussions; Young’s camp floated Minnesota and Brooklyn, but neither team is pursuing him.
- Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga remains out of the rotation and becomes trade‑eligible on Jan. 15, keeping his situation in play as teams position for the Feb. 5 deadline.
