Ethan Kinney argues that the Washington Wizards should secure Anthony Davis on a long-term contract if the veteran forward is willing to compromise on his contract demands. Davis reportedly seeks a max contract at age 33, but the Wizards are hesitant to commit fully without seeing him consistently healthy on the court.
