As the NBA season gets closer to the postseason, there are multiple teams across the league who are only looking toward the offseason. Half the league won’t be in the playoffs, which means that roster building for next season starts right away.
One of those franchises is the Washington Wizards, who will be looking to take a step forward next season. Washington did acquire both Trae Young and Anthony Davis at the trade deadline this year, giving them two stars to build around moving forward.
However, there have been trade rumors around Davis, specifically, and this could see the big man moved during the offseason. If the Wizards do make him available in trade talks, there would be a few teams around the league that may want to land his services.
Davis has been limited to only 20 games this season due to injury, but when healthy, he remains a strong presence on both ends of the court. But whether Washington looks to move the big man remains to be seen
TWSN Quick Facts:
- Team: Golden State Warriors
- Rumored Player: Anthony Davis
- Position: Center/Power Forward
Could Anthony Davis Be Option For Warriors This Summer?
One team that could use the services of Davis this offseason is the Golden State Warriors, and they have the means to acquire him from Washington. Golden State is looking to make one last run with star Stephen Curry as the primary player, and adding Davis to the roster would do wonders for the Warriors.
After being traded to the Wizards, there were reports that Davis wasn’t happy to be in Washington, and he could ask out this offseason. The Warriors could be one of the better landing spots for him if Washington were to look to move the star big.
Since Davis has dealt with some injury concerns throughout his career, the return may not be as high. Golden State could offer the Washington some extra draft capital, and it could end up being a fair deal for both sides.
The Warriors have lacked size across the roster for years, and it has hurt them come playoff time. Golden State did trade for center Kristaps Porzingis at the deadline this year, but so far, it has been a mixed bag for the team.
Adding Davis to the mix may fit this club better, and he is a better player than Porzingis when healthy. Both guys have dealt with injury concerns, but the Warriors could always look to pair the two together next season.
If this were to happen, Golden State may have one of the deepest and best teams in the entire NBA. The roster would be on the older side again, but the talent couldn’t be overlooked across the NBA.
Final Thoughts
Davis remains one of the better two-way players in the league, and his defense would be a welcome addition to the Warriors’ roster. Having him, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler, once he returns from injury, on the floor together could give Golden State one of the scariest defensive trios that the league has seen in years.
On offense, Davis has gotten better at spacing the floor, but he could make this team much more formidable. Opposing defenses wouldn’t know who to guard, and it would truly be a pick-your-poison type of situation for Golden State every time out.
Overall, addressing the center spot moving forward is crucial for the Warriors, if they actually want to go after another NBA title. Davis is likely the best player that they can acquire on the trade market, and if he is dangled in talks, Golden State should do whatever it takes to land him.
