DALLAS (AP) --- The Washington Wizards are acquiring Anthony Davis in an
eight-player trade with the Mavericks that includes draft picks for Dallas, a
person with knowledge of the deal said Wednesday.
The move is a signal the Mavericks are moving on from the widely criticized
trade that sent superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package
headlined by Davis last year.
Former general manager Nico Harrison, who was fired by Dallas in November,
engineered the middle-of-the-night deal that angered fans. Trade speculation
had surrounded Davis ever since Harrison was let go following a slow start to
the season.
The Wizards are sending Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham and Marvin
Bagley III to the Mavericks along with two first-round draft picks and three
second-rounders, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity
because the deal had yet to be approved by the NBA.
Washington is getting three guards from Dallas in Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell
and Dante Exum.
