The NBA trade deadline is about a month away and the Anthony Davis sweepstakes could be on the verge of heating up.
The Mavericks’ All-NBA big man has been a prime trade candidate since Dallas fired former GM Nico Harrison. At 32 years old and regularly dealing with injuries, Davis doesn’t seem to fit well into the long-term future of the franchise with Cooper Flagg in the fold. He has struggled to stay on the court this season, appearing in only 19 games so far, but is still a dominant two-way force when he does play; Davis is averaging 20.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game in 2025-26. He’s still a star-caliber player when healthy and as such could fetch a solid return at the deadline, as well as potentially swing the playoff race depending on where he ends up.
