According to Chris Haynes, if Anthony Davis were to be traded before the deadline, the Golden State Warriors have emerged as a potential suitor for him.
There has been tons of speculation and rumors surrounding the future of the Dallas Mavericks and their plans concerning Davis; since firing general manager Nico Harrison, they’ve taken a patient route in order to figure out their future.
If the Warriors were to put together a serious trade offer, Golden State would need to center it around Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga. Financially speaking, Davis is making $54.1 million this season. The Warriors are just $264,000 below their second-apron hard cap.
This would force them into giving up Kuminga’s $22.5 million salary, as long with Green’s $25.8 million salary. With those two contracts, it would be a base start to be able to plot the foundation to secure the NBA champion.
General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. is going to have to weigh his options when it comes to Green, Davis, and the future of this team. Reports have come out that they won’t trade core members of this team, but, if they want Davis, according to the experts, they would need to attach core members to be able to get Davis.
If they were to land the 32-year-old, it would set up Stephen Curry to have legitimate second and third option in Jimmy Butler and Davis. Plus, for the front office, finally put an end to their Kuminga situation.
