The Washington Wizards are reportedly not interested in moving Anthony Davis and are not engaging with trade offers for the All-Star forward. ESPN’s report frames Davis as part of Washington’s current plan rather than a player being shopped.
Davis is also nearing a key contract window: he can become eligible on Aug. 6 for an extension that could run up to four years and $275 million, with the opening year replacing his 2027-28 player option. His current salary for 2026-27 is listed at $58.4 million.
The trade chatter has been connected to wider speculation around Golden State, including reported interest in LeBron James and the financial mechanics that would be required for any Davis pursuit. However, the ESPN report also notes that there has not been concrete movement on a Davis deal, and several parts of the Warriors angle remain source-based and speculative.
For Washington, the larger message is roster direction. The Wizards are said to view Davis and Trae Young as foundation veterans who can push the team toward playoff relevance while supporting a young group that includes AJ Dybantsa and Alex Sarr.
