What are the chances of the Washington Wizards trading Anthony Davis to the Golden State Warriors?That’s one of readers’ most often-asked questions these days.I address that topic, and more, in this new edition of The Athletic’s Washington Wizards mailbag.Some questions have been lightly edited for clarity and grammar.Are people in the Wizards organization laughing at these Anthony Davis to the Warriors rumors? — @FaazzlaThe Wizards have no interest in trading Anthony Davis.As I’ve said for months, I think Davis will be on the Wizards’ roster to begin the regular season.What is AD’s trade value? What type of offer would be enough for the Wizards to be willing to trade him? — @NoClueIsTheBestWhy are the Wizards hell-bent on holding on to Anthony Davis, who is always hurt? Trade him for whatever and save the cap space for some other player like Jaylen Brown. — @Bizzle666240382The Wizards traded for Davis and Trae Young to help the young nucleus grow during the 2026-27 season and beyond. Washington has agreed to re-sign Young, and Washington has no interest in trading Davis.I suspect that Davis’ trade value is not very high right now. I say that because of the relatively low cost the Wizards paid to acquire his contract before last February’s trade deadline.To recap that trade: The Mavericks sent Davis, D’Angelo Russell and Danté Exum to the Wizards for a 2026 first-round pick that wound up being the 30th pick, a 2030 first-round pick that’s top-20 protected, Khris Middleton, Marvin Bagley III and three second-round picks.The Wizards most likely think Davis’ value in helping move their young players forward currently exceeds the value of whatever trade package they could receive.If AD insists on a new contract extension after seeing Trae’s deal, is there any feasible deal that doesn’t hamstring the team long term? Or do they opt to trade him midseason to avoid that $63 million player option next year? Who would be a realistic suitor for him? — @dcmadness202I think Davis wanted an extension even before the Wizards reached their four-year, $212 million agreement in principle with Young.Your first question is the crucial question, in my opinion: In a potential contract extension for Davis, what would be a reasonable contract from the Wizards’ perspective? By “reasonable,” I mean a contract that would not hinder the franchise from building out the rest of its roster. And what would Davis be willing to accept?
