Overview
- ClutchPoints floated a hypothetical sending Anthony Davis to Golden State for Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield, Gui Santos, and future firsts, with D’Angelo Russell routed to Dallas.
- Heavy evaluated the idea as unlikely given Dallas’ leverage after its Luka Dončić-for-Davis gamble and Golden State’s limited draft and cap flexibility.
- Analysts stressed that moving Green would upend the Warriors’ defensive identity, while Davis’ two-way ceiling is tempered by frequent availability concerns.
- Coverage highlighted Golden State’s profile at 11–11 with a bottom-tier paint scoring rate and heavy three-point dependence, noting Davis could theoretically ease those offensive pressures.
- Both outlets pointed to more practical targets, such as a Kuminga-based move for a 3-and-D wing like Trey Murphy III, while a separate Sporting News piece relayed an ESPN ‘Hail Mary’ concept for Giannis Antetokounmpo that was also framed as speculative.
