The Golden State Warriors, winners of eight consecutive games after a 0-3 start, could be in the mix to make a big splash. Logically speaking, making a big-time trade makes all the sense in the world. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green aren't getting any younger, and adding another scoring threat should be a priority. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg has impressed, and Jimmy Butler could return near the deadline as he recovers from a torn right ACL. But the Warriors might need more. Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley listed Golden State as a potential landing spot for 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis, whose tenure with the Washington Wizards could be short-lived. "Whether co-starring with a currently solo star or anchoring the interior for a could-be contender, he is the kind of player who could—if healthy, asterisk forever attached—tip the scales of the championship race," Buckley wrote. He also listed the Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors as two teams that could make reasonable trade offers for Davis, who scored 44 points with 13 rebounds against the Detroit Pistons on Monday.

Washington may be good enough to stay in the play-in race, but that depends largely on Davis' health. At one time, a duo of Davis and Curry would've been in consideration as one of the best in the NBA. That's still a possibility, but their respective ages complicate the potential effectiveness of the partnership.
