Trading Young has given the Hawks the financial flexibility to take on Davis' contract, Charania adds. However, Atlanta could face challenges in matching salary and would likely need to include Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kennard in a potential deal for the 32-year-old.
Davis will make $58.5 million next season in the final year of a three-year, $175.4-million contract, which includes a $62.8-million player option for the 2027-28 campaign.
