"Davis is currently sidelined after nursing an injury that seemingly could keep him out for the rest of the season, but with the Mavericks' motivated to move on from the big man, conversations had picked up as of late. However, Washington being the team to step up to the plate to take on the big man's lucrative contract certainly came out of left field."
"Davis averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists, while shooting an efficient 50.6% field goal range prior to suffering his injury. On the opposite end of the court, the premiere defensive talent was averaging 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals per matchup. Now, he takes his talents to the Eastern Conference, where he'll join a rebuilding team that hasn't been quiet on the trade market for quite some time."
The Washington Wizards acquired 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum from the Dallas Mavericks for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
