Overview
- Marc Stein reports that agent Rich Paul views the Hawks favorably as a potential landing spot for Davis.
- League sources cited by Stein say there is currently no meaningful progress on Davis talks between Atlanta and Dallas.
- Given Atlanta's luxury-tax posture, Stein notes the Hawks are unlikely to take on Davis' deal without moving Trae Young, who holds a $48.9 million player option.
- Stein adds that Atlanta is disinclined to include former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher in an in-season Davis package.
- Separately, Stein reports Dallas is reassessing its 13-23 roster with only Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving viewed as untouchable, Houston is not ruling out a late-season Fred VanVleet return, and the Lakers want a two-way wing but face limited avenues to acquire one.
