NBA Rumors: The Warriors are going after Anthony Davis!

Golden State Warriors have once again brought up an idea that surfaced some time ago but never materialized: attempting to acquire Anthony Davis, currently the center for the Dallas Mavericks. The Bay Area franchise had previously shown interest, although it had never had the necessary tools or the right context to fully pursue him.

What is still unclear is what Dallas' final stance will be leading up to the February 5th trade deadline. At this moment, the Mavericks are maintaining a cautious attitude towards any significant decision, taking a patient approach since the departure of general manager Nico Harrison, adding uncertainty to the landscape.

From a financial standpoint, closing a potential trade would not be straightforward for Golden State. Davis is earning $54.1 million this season, while the Warriors are just $264,000 shy of the tax apron, making it extremely challenging to match salaries within the current league's strict guidelines.

In this scenario, it seems inevitable that Jonathan Kuminga, with his $22.5 million contract, would become a virtually obligatory piece in any exchange package. However, even by including the young forward, the figure would still fall short, requiring Golden State to include more assets.

Draymond Green, on the way out?

This opens the door to a much more decisive possibility: the inclusion of Draymond Green in the outgoing package. His presence would better balance the numbers and provide greater viability to the operation, so his name could be on general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr.'s table if the Warriors choose to push forward firmly with this move.
