I believe that Davis is going to be released(waived) and he'll go back to Chicago. His familly lives there, and he loves it there. He had some great relationships with the players last yr.

www.sportsline.com/nba/story/9210458Raptors clear air, say newly acquired Davis will honor contract Feb. 5, 2006 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports TORONTO -- Antonio Davis will honor his contract to play in Toronto, Raptors interim general manager Wayne Embry said Sunday. Davis was acquired Friday in a deal that sent Jalen Rose, a first-round draft pick and cash to the New York Knicks. He met with Embry and coach Sam Mitchell on Saturday morning, took a physical, then flew to New York to gather his belongings before heading to Chicago to meet with his wife, Kendra. There's been speculation the forward, who was traded by the Raptors in 2003, wouldn't play in Toronto, instead retiring or asking the Raptors to trade him to a playoff contender or buy him out of his contract. Embry said there was no chance of that. "No, no possibility at all," Embry said. While Embry acknowledged that Davis wasn't thrilled about the trade when they met Saturday, Embry is confident the 37-year-old will be back in a Raptors uniform and the team expects him to arrive in Toronto on Monday or Tuesday. He could play Wednesday when the Raptors host the San Antonio Spurs. "He was a real pro," Embry said. "He's got some anxieties about moving, but we had a nice talk with him and he's ready to come, and as long as he's a Raptor, he's going to do what we want him to do. "He would like to be maybe closer to his family, but we talked that through and he doesn't want to do anything that's going to hurt us and we don't want to do anything that's going to hurt us. "We had a nice discussion and he wants to come in and fulfill his obligation and he will be a big help to us." The trade gives Toronto more financial flexibility. Rose is making $15.7 million this season, and will make $16.9 million next season. Davis will make $13.9 million this year, but his salary comes off the books at season's end. Davis' last stint with the Raptors ended when he demanded a trade out of town, in part over concerns about the education his kids would get in Canadian schools. The Raptors finally sent him to Chicago in 2003 in a deal that brought Rose to Toronto. AP NEWS The Associated Press News Service

www.sportsline.com/nba/story/9214363After four days, reluctant Davis finally reports to Raptors Feb. 7, 2006 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports TORONTO -- Antonio Davis reluctantly reported to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday, saying he needed four days to clear his head. Davis was acquired Friday in a deal that sent Jalen Rose, a first-round draft pick and cash to the New York Knicks. There had been speculation that Davis, who was traded by the Raptors in 2003, wouldn't play in Toronto, instead retiring or asking the Raptors to trade him to a playoff contender or buy him out of his contract "It's not that bad," Davis said after practice. "I'm still doing something I love to do." Davis said he never brought up the possibility of a buyout. He's due $6 million in the final 34 games of what might be his final season. "If these are the last 34 games of my NBA career, I want them played as tough as I can," Davis said. The 37-year-old veteran left Toronto on bad terms in 2003 when he demanded out, in part over concerns about the education his kids would get Canada. He was booed when he returned as visitor. "They have a right to feel how they feel," Davis said. "Even if I would have left on a good note, there is still going to be people who don't like you, who don't like what you stand for. I can't worry about that." Davis said playing in New York was "a tough situation for everybody involved." After Sunday's loss to Houston, the Knicks had lost five straight and 11 of their last 12. "I hope those guys can keep it together mentally and physically and get through any challenges they have," Davis said. "I don't really want to talk about anything specific, but I think they have their work cut out for them. Hopefully, the can stay professional and get through it." Davis said his role with Toronto will be to protect emerging star Chris Bosh, defend the paint and rebound. Toronto coach Sam Mitchell hadn't decided whether to start Davis. Mitchell said he wasn't surprised he showed up. "Antonio has been a professional his whole career," Mitchell said. "He's president of the players' association and he understands that's a huge responsibility. And regardless of what disappointments we all may have, you got to do your job first."
