Overview
- The reported swap sends Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to Washington, with Dallas receiving Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham and Marvin Bagley III plus two first-round picks and three seconds.
- Dallas’ draft haul includes an Oklahoma City first-rounder in this year’s draft, a 2030 Wizards first, and second-round selections in 2026, 2027 and 2029, according to AP and ESPN reports.
- The deal is based on anonymous sourcing and remains pending formal NBA approval and roster processing.
- Davis has been out since Jan. 8 with a left-hand injury and is not expected to debut immediately for Washington, where recent acquisition Trae Young is also injured.
- The move follows heavy criticism of Dallas’ earlier Dončić-for-Davis trade and accelerates a rebuild around rookie Cooper Flagg, who recently posted a 49-point game.
