Anthony Davis Among Early Top NBA Trade Candidates

I wanted to hit the trade block guys, like guys that could be on the trade block. Um, and I know it's very early to say that, but as we get into early December, I think mid-December, like December 15th is when you can really start trading some of your bigger contracts and some veteran guys. As we get into this, like there's going to be some conversations to be had with a lot of these players. And we just talked about the Washington Wizards and we talked about Joel Embiid. We talked about the Sixers and how bad he's looked. People are floating, John. Anthony Davis for Joel Embiid. To do what? A trade. Oh, no. Oh, God, no. No, no, no. We know God, no. No, no, no. Who says no faster? Washington, for sure. Well, absolutely. And that's not followed quickly. It ain't going to take Philly that much longer to say no as well. Wait, what? Why? Look, man. Huh? AD is as injury prone as Joel Embiid. Oh, no, no. Not even. He doesn't look as bad. Right now, running AD doesn't look as bad as Joel would be. He's not tripping on his own feet yet. Every time Anthony Davis hits the ground, there's a great probability he will not get up, and he falls down a lot for a person his size. All right. LeBron's been down that road already. I don't know if LeBron would want to get involved. He does. That's maybe the main reason you would. That's. If you're talking about AD finding his way to a place like Golden State, I can get with that. If you're talking about Joel Embiid finding his way to somewhere like Milwaukee, I can get with that. Because you're looking at, right now, if you're the Sixers, you're looking for pieces to kind of assure people around, like, hey, man, we can do this in a faster way with different pieces. Let's bring in a Miles Turner. Let's bring in some of these people that, a Khalil Ware. Let's bring in some of these people that can help us play faster. And if you're Milwaukee, you're looking like, hey, we need another franchise star. We think Joel Embiid will fit because we know he's locked down. Yes, he's not going to play. But that gives us a name to sell to our fans because we can't sign anybody. So outside of that, I don't really – I can see Anthony Davis being moved because he still has value per se. I can't see Joel Embiid being moved at all because the package looks bad. I wouldn't buy something that the packaging already looks bad. What if Golden State did it instead? For whom? Oh, I don't know. I'm sure they can throw something together. I mean, there are rumors about it in the summer, like Jimmy Butler and a few contracts and some picks. And, you know, because the Warriors technically do have a lot of picks to trade. For Anthony Davis? Yes. I thought that was going to happen in this time of year. Me too. That's what I'm saying. They're probably going to revisit it. I will almost guarantee it. The way it was explained that I heard, The guy who I heard it from is that Washington wanted too much because they thought that the team that they had to have three number one picks on it, by the way, that they would come out the gate raging and the records would look better. It would look smoother with Trey Young running the point, and it just hasn't yet. And I think they're going to give that a lot more run. If AD is moved, I think this is going to be like night of the deadline type where they waited and gave this a chance all the way up to the end because they have a lot of high hopes for that roster. And right now, it's just not clicking in a way that they thought that it would. And so at that point, yeah, I think you might be able to see something. Yeah, I just think that with what the Wizards are doing, and like you said, I think they expected this team to be a lot better out of the gate. There's so much season left. That's why I'm kind of not putting a lot of stock into any of these guys. But we still have to mention it. He's actually 58.4 million this season for Anthony Davis. You're going to have to think there's going to have to be teams that kind of throw that number back at Washington to match it or get close to that, right? Mm-hmm. The Warriors can do that. That's why they overpaid a bunch of people. You could throw Jimmy and two other guys, maybe one other guy, and just say, here, take back. Porzingis, and then just buy him out. Let's, you know, take that too. So they can get it done. Jimmy and Porzingis will get that done. Yeah, with throwing two firsts. Be like, all right, let's do this.
