A few lucky gamblers we suspect will be making out like bandits and BetOnline and other books that offered odds on Anthony Davis being traded to the Washington Wizards by the Dallas Cowboys. The payout: $5000 on a $100 bet!!!!
The Wizards were way down on the list of teams oddsmakers at BetOnline had Davis going to.
But a few Wizards fans we suspect bet this one.
The trade is part of an eight-player blockbuster designed to maximize Dallas' flexibility to build around star rookie Cooper Flagg, sources told ESPN.
The Mavs will send Davis and guards Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round draft picks and three second-rounders, sources said.
The first-round picks the Wizards included in the deal are the Thunder's 2026 selection and the Warriors' top-20-protected pick in 2030, according to sources.
The Mavs had been aggressively exploring the market for Davis since the early November firing of former general manager Nico Harrison, a decision governor Patrick Dumont made in large part because of the fan backlash stemming from last year's trade of perennial MVP contender Luka Doncic to the Lakers.
