Anthony Davis #3 of the Dallas Mavericks warms up prior to the start of the game against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on December 25, 2025 in San Francisco, California.

The Golden State Warriors so fararen’t having the start to the seasonthey’d hoped for, despite franchise star Stephen Curry continuing to prove himself as one of the best players of this generation.

But as the Warriors hope totake advantage of the time they have left with Curry, they are reportedly in the market to add another star to make one more title push. As of now, that star is Anthony Davis of the Dallas Mavericks, and right now, Golden State is the odds-on favorite to be the next home for the ten-time All-Star and 2020 NBA champion.

According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Warriors are favored over the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, and Toronto Raptors to land Davis in a trade, based on odds on Kalshi Sports.

The Warriors are the new betting favorites to acquire Anthony Davis on @KalshiSports.

The Mavericks are openly shopping Davis on the trade market in hopes of finding a great deal by February’s deadline.

Davisis currently sidelined with a groin injury suffered in theMavericks’ Christmas Day game against the Warriors, and according to Shams Charania, heis expected to miss‘a few games.’

Warriors Favorites To Land Anthony Davis

Golden State is a top candidate to land another big star, whichisn’t super surprising, considering their middling start to the year and some of the assetsthey’d be able to offer up for Dallas.The Bay Area team has been linked to Davis for some time nowafter the Mavericksfired general manager Nico Harrison andlook totake a different direction led by rookie Cooper Flagg.

However, even though the Warriors are favored and havereported interest in a Davis trade, it could all come down to what they would send back for the big man.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, the Mavericks are looking to get back several young players in exchange for the five-time All-NBA honoree.That reportwas based on a potential Davis trade with the Hawks,yetstill,it’s fair to assume that would be the same case with Golden State.

“I was told the Warriors are contemplating making a case to acquire Anthony Davis,”Haynes said. “They’re looking for a big man, a rim-running big who can protect the paint and be a lob threat.”

Golden State did make the offseason addition of Al Horford, but so far, hehasn’t been as advertised, missing amassive amount of time through 31 games,putting up career-lowstats in the process. Draymond Green has also been onthe downturn, and thoughQuinten Post has been solid in a limited role, addinga player like a healthy Davis would drastically change what the Warriors can do on both sides of the court.

In 16 games this season for the Mavericks, the 32-year-old Davis is averaging 20.5 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.6 blocks per night on 52.8% shooting, however, the injury concerns have by no means quieted.

Steve Kerr On A Potential Klay Thompson Trade, Reunion

At the same time that the Warriors have reported interest in one Dallas star, they also have eyesfor anotherone of their players. Klay Thompson hasshown interest in rejoining Golden State after his year and a half with the Mavericks, the team he joinedafter a somewhat messy breakup with the franchise he won four titleswith.

Ramona Shelbourne was the first to report the news, and in the days after, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr commented on a potential reunion with the league’s second all-time leading three-point shooter.

“I’ll never get used to seeing Klay (Thompson) on the other side,”Kerr said after histeam’s Christmas win over the Mavericks. “I miss Klay. Wish he was still here.”

Both Thompson and Curry shared a moment during pregame warmups, reminding Warriors fans of the extreme success shared by the duo during the mid-2010s and early 2020s.Thompson is at a very different point in his career compared to his prime years, ashe’s come off the bench for Dallasrecently. However, with two years left on the $50 million deal he signed with the Mavericks in 2024, making a trade for him could come a lot easier than one for Davis.

The core group of Curry, Thompson, Green, and Kerr oversaw one of the most successful dynasties in NBA history, and though the Warriors are missing their ‘No. 11′, a reunion could be in the cards.
