I want to be able to have fun where I am. I want to be able to compete where I am. I want to be able to learn wherever I am \u2014 and this organization has that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wizards brought Davis in as part of a major midseason reset, acquiring him from Dallas in a multi-player deal. Just weeks earlier, the front office had already made another splash, landing Trae Young to pair alongside him, a move aimed at accelerating the rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>While Davis\u2019 long-term future in Washington remains uncertain, one thing is locked in: he\u2019ll be back next season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I\u2019m under contract,\u201d he said with a laugh. \u201cI love my money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis is expected to sit down with team leadership in the coming weeks to discuss direction and expectations, according to reporting out of Washington.<\/p>\n<p>At 33 years old, the former champion understands both the urgency and the challenge of turning things around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know that I want to win,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m sure that they want to win as well. Nobody wants to lose. \u2026 I know we have a lot of young guys, but like I said, I mentioned it about the young guys \u2014 how talented they are. Adding Trae and myself kind of can help change that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I also understand I\u2019ve been in this league a long time. I\u2019ve been on losing teams, and it\u2019s very hard to be a losing team and then a championship contender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foreverbet.com\/en-us\/sportsbook?utm_source=basketballforever&amp;utm_medium=sitearticle&amp;utm_ca%5B%E2%80%A6%5Dn=basketballforever500ph&amp;utm_term=DavisLockedWizards&amp;lid=j0ytdho0wlyd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68964\" src=\"https:\/\/basketballforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ForeverBet-BF-promotional-banner-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"175\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/basketballforever.com\/2026\/04\/12\/giannis-antetokounmpo-vents-about-bucks-and-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Giannis Antetokounmpo Vents About Bucks and Future<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/basketballforever.com\/2026\/04\/13\/anthony-davis-gets-honest-about-his-future-at-the-wizards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a turbulent 2025\u201326 season that saw the Washington Wizards finish with a league-worst 17-65 record, Anthony Davis is already looking ahead, focused on helping the franchise take a step toward relevance. \u201cWhen the trade happened and I got here, I\u2019ve said this place is not what people make it seem,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt\u2019s a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117931,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117930"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/basketball.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
