REPORT: Anthony Davis Wants to Stay, Dallas Mavericks Shouldn’t Extend Him | Mavs Trade Rumors

34 comments

1. Is there a scenario where you would want the Mavs to extend Anthony Davis' contract?

2. Mini Paul & Botch sports are sticking the MAVS up for street clothes AD. Don’t do it

3. I would extend AD to $30 million per year for 4 years. Not a penny more. 😂😂😂

4. The kyrie type deal i always knew this dude was a dkhead.. Its soo valuable to do that you can trade him more easily

5. Not sure if any of the teams would go for it but this worked in fanspo:

   Wizards get Trae Young
   Hawks get AD, Kispert, Jaden Hardy
   Mavs get McCollum, Risacher, a 2027 1st from Wizards, and 2029 1st from Hawks
   All 3 teams are under the first apron

6. That is not AD s decision 😅

7. I don't know man I'm really loyal to my players and definitely followed AD since the double headed days with Cousins what a team that was!!!! So trading AD is not first on my list. When he plays is a top 10 player, and very attractive basketball to watch!!! Fundamentally outstanding player and person, I don't think Dallas will get better deal quite honestly. Blow it up cool, but we can not trade top 10 player for bread crumbs why??? Build on what, maybe heavy draft capital is the only wayI would accept and that is not happening multiple top picks multiple. Keep doing you thang AD don't worry about the rest.

8. Mavs should get a discount on the extension that equals the amount of games he wont be available.

9. Mav fans wanting to keep ad are absolutely idiotic. The goal is to get a lottery pick.

10. Mav fans- we need to keep ad, we hate Nick and Isaac for wanting to trade him. Once ad gets hurt again all of u mav fans will start crying again about needing to trade him

11. Slightly is the only good thing about this channel

12. I’m rocking with AD.

13. Hey Locked On: Could we trade Isaac for someone who wants the Mavs to win?

14. If we had Luka, we'd be competing for a playoff spot. Now we have AD and talking about lottery position. Why Nico? Why?

15. Based

16. Can we please talk about an hypothetic? I’d like a show where we think how it would be like never having traded Luka, give him a Max and how the team looks like in the next few years because of cap problems 🤔… don’t get me wrong, I love Luka and want him back at some point. But if we are strangled with AD’s moving forward, I have to think it would have been worse with Luka (money wise), right?

17. Cool

18. AD is a high impact player when he is healthy. This is a well constructed Mavs when operating at full strength. For AD an extension represents good faith from the organization beyond the uncertainty from the Nico fiasco. It officially closes the chapter on the Luka trade and sends a message that Dallas is fully invested in AD as one of our cornerstone pieces with Flagg and Irving. When you have elite level guys who WANT to stay in Dallas, you work out a deal. If AD is willing to take a KD like extension, it not only helps roster flexibility but also boosts the organization’s image. That kind of buy-in matters and it helps reshape the narrative for potential FAs who may be hesitant of Dallas because of the Luka backlash. When these vets have retire Flagg is going to need players who want to come play in Dallas since we don't have many picks. Having guys like Irving and Davis genuinely wanting to be in Dallas, continues to build the reputation that Dallas is still a destination. This show needs different hosts, you guys are garbage with your takes. The AD hate and Luka penile riding is quite sickening.

19. Aah the Anthony Davis Dilemma. Hes so so good, rsther have him stay but his health. Ive been doing this dance w AD since 2020, our bubble chip. I wish he stays w the mavs. Why trade him for trey young, when you have kyrie, nembhard, and even flagg doing ball handling responsibilities.

20. Lets go mavs!!!

21. Mavs finna be paying ad 60 mil when he 37 ,38is tragic

22. Guess these guys weren't around for the 2012 break up of the team for cap space. How did that work out? In this situation its not even enough to sign someone.

23. If AD contracts doesn’t keep us in a financial bind I think it would be wise to let cooper grow on side of veterans instead of a bunch of young sorry players

24. I feel I need to vomit each time I hear KP possibility… vomit

25. I swear there are Lakers fans who love AD coming over here and gaslighting gullible MAV fans. Dude AD cant play 10 games str8 and you want to extend him. If you extend AD we would be in the luxury tax meaning we would have to let go gafford, Marshall and possibly can't sign Nembhard. The money doesn't add up and if you're building around Cooper and can't sign free agents.. AD gets hurt cause he's older we'll suck..with no draftpicks.. Yes AD is good but WE CANT AFFORD HIM!

26. Keep AD cause if you drafted the best big man in the draft and developed his skills for years with the hope that he would turn into someone almost as good as AD but you got AD now. You still have a great draft pick coming match that skill with AD, Kyrie and Cooper and see where the team is.

27. Just getting AD off the books would be a huge win. There are tons of interesting free agents this off season and the Mavs with the money saved could have tons of options. Could go after Austin reaves or could take a flyer on a sign 2 or 3 of the following players. Ivey, Grimes, Mathurin, Cam Thomas, Coby white, Kumimga, Keon Ellis, or Colin sexton. Mavs having an offseason of Coby white, Grimes and a top 5 pick would be an amazing offseason but can’t anything with AD on the team.

28. Hawks
    Send: Young + Risacher
    Get: AD

    Wizards
    Send: Sarr + Middleton
    Get: Young + Lively + Exum(exp)

    Mavs
    Send: AD + Lively + Exum
    Get: Risacher + Sarr + Middleton(exp)

29. Lol love how these guys are making out that taking in traes contract is good for Washington haha nooo

30. I hope they give ad the extension 😁

31. We have a corner stone for the futur in cooper flag. It s umbelivable to take this guy last year. Draft is not a guarantee to have a good player for the futur.

32. 18:35 Doesn't know Ball. Locked on Luka strikes again.

33. You have to read whats fans wrote in this section. No rush to trade AD. I think maybe i m'wrong, AD will accept a cheap extension, the same as kyrie.

34. Are all the reasonable, intelligent fans just gone ? Reading through the comments is killing my brain cells. These people saying yall just mad about Luka being traded! And now you wanna take it out on AD !! Do you guys really believe this ? I’ve been a loyal fan of the team since the 80s, and I think trading AD is the only smart move at this point. I want the Mavs to contend for a title again one day, so I want them to trade AD before his trade value hits zero.
