Anthony Davis was traded away from the Lakers in a shocking move a few months ago.

We know he was enough to be a large chunk of what Los Angeles gave up to get another superstar.

What we don't know is what he'd get in the open market right now, but luckily, an insider just revealed the price.

What is Anthony Davis worth on the open market?

ESPN's Shams Charania appeared on the Pat McAfee show, where he has recently seemed to give better insight on rumors/reports there than he does on his social media.

With the Desmond Bane trade getting the Grizzlies a multi-first-round pick return, it has set the standard and raised questions around the value of even better players.

Charania revealed that Davis would be worth a whopping 4-5 first-rounders.

Davis is that level of an impact player when healthy.

With what we've seen with other players, Davis should obviously be worth more than a player like Desmond Bane or Mikal Bridges.

Now, this doesn't mean Dallas will look to trade him, but it's just a topic of conversation with the recent Bane trade sparking a debate around the value of certain players.
