The Warriors have completely lost interest in Davis! He is very likely to remain with the Mavericks, while Rich Paul is actively negotiating a new contract for him.

On January 18th Beijing time, according to Warriors reporter Slater, the Warriors are currently uninterested in bringing in Davis. "The Warriors have no enthusiasm for this trade at all... This isn’t simply about acquiring a player; in this possible trade, you’d probably have to include Green as part of the deal. Consider trading Green for a player who 'may only be back around the playoffs' — obviously, that doesn’t make sense."

ESPN journalist Bontemps added that although Davis joining the Warriors would be a “very logical choice” from a roster fit perspective, due to his high salary and injury-related availability concerns, the trade “is completely off the table now.”

HoopsHype reporter Scotto shared that multiple league executives generally believe Davis will most likely stay with the Mavericks after the trade deadline, “unless the Mavericks are absolutely determined to unload his contract burden.”

The Warriors are almost certain to make moves before the trade deadline. Slater and reporter Shams previously revealed that Kuminga, who has not played since December 19th, has officially requested a trade from the team.

However, given Kuminga’s inconsistent performance throughout his career so far, the Warriors will likely find it difficult to get valuable assets in return. At the same time, they don’t have an attractive enough offer to convince the Mavericks to trade Davis.

It should be noted that Davis is currently sidelined for at least six weeks due to a wrist injury, and since January 30, 2025, he has only appeared in 29 games. Expecting him to be an immediate impact player for a championship contender is clearly unrealistic.

Additionally, sources say Davis’s agent, Rich Paul, has been actively working to secure a contract extension for the ten-time All-Star, aiming to help him join a team willing to offer a renewal. Davis’s current contract runs through next season, with a salary of $58.5 million in 2026-27 and a player option worth $62.8 million for the 2027-28 season.

The Warriors have recently shown clear improvement, winning four of their last five games. Their winning percentage has surpassed 50% for the first time all season, climbing to eighth place in the Western Conference with a 23-19 record.
