"Fast forward to not even a year later, and that massive blunder has not paid off in the slightest for the Mavs, with Harrison ousted, Kyrie Irving going down with an ACL tear, and the landscape looking like Dallas will just cut their losses on this oversight and try to recoup whatever they can by flipping Anthony Davis. With all that being said, it's not that Davis is some absolute black hole if he were rerouted elsewhere."
"Now, it does worry me a little that Toronto's name is being mentioned in the AD talks, and Jordanna Clark of Raptors Rapture has already shared her thoughts on the potential " nightmare" that could arise if this scenario comes to fruition. However, recent insights from NBA insider Jake Fischer have kept the focus on Toronto being a serious contender in the Davis sweepstakes, whether fans like it or not."
"Fischer wrote this on December 16 for Marc Stein's Substack (subscription required): " The teams most interested to date, according to league sources, are Toronto and Atlanta." Much like they were rumored to be going neck-and-neck with Toronto in the Brandon Ingram sweepstakes last season, which the Raptors ultimately won by securing "Notorious B.I.3," the focus returns once more to the Atlanta Hawks."
Anthony Davis is still an elite All-NBA and All-Star talent, but chronic injuries and limited availability have defined his recent reputation. A blockbuster trade sending Luka Dončić to acquire Davis has severely underperformed for Dallas, triggering leadership changes, a major Kyrie Irving injury, and talk that the Mavericks will move Davis to limit further damage. Toronto and Atlanta have surfaced as leading suitors for Davis, with Toronto in a stronger position. Local concerns warn a Davis acquisition could create significant problems, while his on-court value when healthy remains high but uncertain.
