After a turbulent 202526 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.When the trade happened and I got here, Ive said this place is not what people make it seem, Davis said. Its a testament to the organization, the coaching staff, the players, everybody here. 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 and this organization has that.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.While Davis long-term future in Washington remains uncertain, one thing is locked in: hell be back next season.Yeah, Im under contract, he said with a laugh. I love my money.Davis is expected to sit down with team leadership in the coming weeks to discuss direction and expectations, according to reporting out of Washington.At 33 years old, the former champion understands both the urgency and the challenge of turning things around.They know that I want to win, he said. Im sure that they want to win as well. Nobody wants to lose. I know we have a lot of young guys, but like I said, I mentioned it about the young guys how talented they are. Adding Trae and myself kind of can help change that.Related Article: Giannis Antetokounmpo Vents About Bucks and FutureBut I also understand Ive been in this league a long time.
