Blue Man Hoop's Jordanna Clark argues that the Golden State Warriors should avoid trading for Anthony Davis despite Kristaps Porzingis being sidelined indefinitely. Following Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy's announcement regarding Porzingis' health issues, speculation arose that Golden State could pursue Davis, whose $58.5 million salary might be involved in trade talks by the Washington Wizards.
