Why AD Should Be Traded (And Where)

Anthony Davis is a player that could conceivably be on the trade block this season, and if traded could either swing a title race or help a bad team become relevant. The Mavericks say they want to stay competitive, but they’re stuck between timelines with an expensive extension looming.

In this video, I’ve grouped 15 potential trade partners for AD into three tiers:

🏆 Tier 1: Ceiling Raisers – Teams that could make a real run with AD

📉Tier 2: Floor Teams – Franchises that just need a serious basketball player

🔁 Tier 3: Shakeups – Teams that need a change or have bad contracts

This isn’t about fixing Dallas or dunking on the Luka trade, just working through what makes sense now for a great player in a tough spot.
