Davis averages 23.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game this season. Although he has not been disappointing in terms of stats, Davis has had one of his worst seasons in terms of shooting.

Eminent analyst Kenny Smith has a solution for the Davis problem. According to him, a trade to the Houston Rockets will ensure a playoff spot for the Rockets and Davis.
