The Dallas Mavericks will likely trade Anthony Davis at some point this season as long as the right trade offer comes across the table. They won’t give him away for free, but it’s becoming clear that he doesn’t quite fit the rest of the roster, and as much as he and Kyrie Irving want to play together, the Mavs need to focus on the future.
ESPN’s NBA insider Shams Charania released a report stating that the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors, and Detroit Pistons are expected to show interest in the 10-time All-Star, but how realistic is that interest?
As of late, it doesn’t seem like the Pistons have had much interest, if at all. Marc Stein reported earlier in the week that “the early noise about the Pistons is that they don’t want to go out and make some splashy trade.”
Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press said similarly, stating on Bluesky, “I’m told the Pistons haven’t had talks with the Mavericks regarding Anthony Davis.” And then, in a later article, he backed those statements up: “And based on private discussions and public comments from the front office and coaching staff, it seems unlikely the Pistons are or will be among the teams looking to acquire [Davis].”
