Anthony Davis’s agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, is one of the most powerful figures in the NBA. Not only do his actions carry weight but his words. That being said, Davis’s name is among the most prominent in trade whispers, and earlier this month a deal seemed all but inevitable.<\/p>\n
Due to unforeseen but predictable circumstances, Davis may be more likely to remain in Dallas than to be moved. In fact, the big man “does not necessarily agree<\/a>” that the Mavericks trading him would be in his best interests, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon (h\/t BasketNews). Though Paul “has made it clear” that’s what he believes, Davis “has not been pushing to be moved and is comfortable here in Dallas.”<\/p>\n This weekend, Paul made an appearance on the Game Over<\/em><\/a> podcast with co-host Max Kellerman to address the notion that he’s been pushing for the Mavericks to trade Davis:<\/p>\n \u201cThat thing was aggregated.
