Some fans are saying that Davis is looking to switch things up and might be eyeing a trade in the summer. And let’s face it, he wouldn’t be the first NBA star to do so this season. After the entire Kyrie Irving trade saga and what happened with Kevin Durant and the Nets, fans are on their toes anticipating Davis’ next move. While some theories suggest that Davis might want to reunite with Russel Westbrook because of their chemistry on the court, others think there could be some real-life drama going on, or maybe he’s just had enough of the toxic social media scene.
These are some comments under a twitter post that has now gone viral after reporting the news
He about to drop 55 & 15 next game or he’s requesting a trade this summer no in between

I seriously hope this dude leaves LeBron and goes to play with Russ wherever he ends up. Those two looked great together until Bron came and screwed up the chemistry.
With all due respect Bron I'd the 2nd or 3rd best of all times. But he is 100% why they sucked.— Andrew MacGregor (@cr1pdawg206) February 14, 2023
Request a trade? Guy has been underperforming or injured since the bubble year.
