The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards in a massive multi-player blockbuster, according to reports from ESPN.
As part of the significant roster shakeup, the Mavericks are also sending Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, and Dante Exum to the Wizards. In exchange for the All-Star big man and the supporting trio, the Washington Wizards are sending a package headlined by Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, and Marvin Bagley III to Dallas. The deal represents one of the largest player swaps in recent history.
Draft capital plays a major role in the transaction, as the Dallas Mavericks will also receive two first-round picks and three second-rounders from Washington, per ESPN. The move signals a major shift for both franchises as they look to reshape their rosters and future assets heading into the remainder of the season.
