"How about Davis, the 10-time all-star with the Dallas Mavericks?
The Raptors have certainly had conversations about what it would mean to try to trade for the soon-to-be 33-year-old, but instance timing matters: Acquiring Davis is the definition of a win-now move, given the big man’s injury history. A three-year extension he is said to be looking for — and which the Mavericks are loathe to give since they are centering their future plans on 19-year-old Cooper Flagg — would keep him on the books until his age-37 season in 2029-30. The deal could be worth up to $275 million. But even if it was a shorter deal for less than the maximum he is eligible for, it is still a significant risk for any acquiring team. Even if Davis was available for a steep discount, the timing doesn’t seem right for the current Raptors club."
