TRADE: Daniel Gafford to DAL | Holmes +FRP to WAS | OKC pickswap

But, you also get a block% that has never been worse than the 94th percentile and an O-Reb% that has never been worse than the 90th percentile the last 4 seasons.  Tradeoffs.

I do like Maxi getting minutes at the four (which brings even more size and shot blocking to the floor).  We don't have to do THJ at the four any more, but things get crowded between GWill, DJJ, THJ, Green and Exum for the minutes not taken by Lively/Gafford/Maxi up front and Luka/Kyrie in the backcourt.  One nice thing about having 10 legitimate rotation players is you can trade 2-3 of them this summer in a consolidation deal for a star and still field a playoff roster.

Hassan Whiteside would offer the same numbers. Question is if Lively and Gafford can stay on the floor when it matters or if Kleber will close games when the best teams in the league go 5-out or switch hunt.
