Anthony Davis hopes to turn Wizards into a contender next season

By Tarohn Finleyโ€ขYahoo Sports

The Wizards finished with a league-worst 17-65 record and placed 15th in the Eastern Conference this season.

Washington Wizards forward Anthony Davis told reporters that he plans to play for the team next season. โ€œYeah, Iโ€™m under contract,โ€ Davis said with a laugh. โ€œI love my money.

โ€ While playing for the Wizards may be obvious to Davis, he has yet to make his debut since joining the team before the NBA trade deadline in February. Davis played only 20 games this season and last appeared on Jan. 8 as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.

The Wizards finished with a league-worst 17-65 record and placed 15th in the Eastern Conference. They also ended the season on a 10-game losing streak and finished their third consecutive season with 64 or more losses. Davis said the team is not what people make it seem and that he expects to compete.

โ€œThey know that I want to win,โ€ he said. โ€œIโ€™m sure that they want to win as well. Nobody wants to lose.
