[Aldridge] Anthony Davis says reports of being unhappy with trade to the Wizards are “overblown”: “Conversations are going to be held to see about getting to [contender status] … I want to see the plan, hear the plan, see the vision. [D.C] is obviously phenomenal.”
Reports of Anthony Davis’ unhappiness with being traded to the Washington Wizards are overblown, according to Anthony Davis.
“They said I said a lot of stuff in the other city, too, that I didn’t say,” Davis told The Athletic in a phone interview late Friday afternoon, in the midst of his first visit with the Wizards’ ownership and front office.
I need to talk with Will, Ted, Zach, and kind of figure out what the actual plan is, and then just kind of go from there,” Davis said. “I talked briefly (Friday) with Will. Obviously, at this time, every year, you want to compete for championships and stuff like that. That’s obviously the main focus, getting to that place. Conversations are going to be held to see about getting to that space. I’ve been everywhere the last two years. I want to see the plan, hear the plan, see the vision. Bringing Trae (Young) here and other things in store, what they’re thinking of doing, I want to have those conversations with them and see what happens. The city is obviously phenomenal.”
Like many NBA players, Davis has loved coming through town over the years, whether with the Pelicans, Lakers or Mavericks.
“It’s D.C. Who doesn’t?”
However, as Beyoncé once sang, Davis is looking for someone who can put a ring on it — a real shot at a second NBA championship to go with the ring he won with the Lakers in 2020.
