Former Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis continues to have his name floated in trade rumors, but the latest report suggests there isn’t as much going on as some think.
According to Brett Siegel, an NBA insider with Clutch Points, teams that have been linked to Davis aren’t showing a ton of interest.
“There is still nothing brewing on the front from the Pistons even though they’ve been mentioned,” Siegel said. “They’re not a team that is all in for Anthony Davis at this time. They still haven’t held direct discussions with the Mavericks. And another team that has registered interest in Davis, the Toronto Raptors, it seems like they’re going to be moving in another more cost-effective path instead of pursuing Davis.”
While Davis will always be intriguing, the injuries are just impossible to ignore. Detroit being mentioned makes sense, but why would the Pistons give up a ton for a player who might not be on the court when it matters most?
Toronto is far from contending, at least by the look of things, so making a move would be very questionable.
The former Lakers star is still a very good player in his own right, but teams should rightfully be concerned with his upcoming contract and injury situation.
