TRADE: PJ Washington+ 2 2nds To DAL | G. Williams+ Curry+ 2027 FRP (top 2 protected)

Another bad day for Mavericks.
Gafford could be got in Porzingis trade, instead of Bertrans.
Mavs traded Bullock and a swap 2030 away to get Grant Williams just to trade Williams few months later for PJ Washington with another FIRST ROUNDER!
And PJ is basically a bit better version of Williams albeit a bit taller. By the start of next season, everybody here will be screaming how horrible he is.
Solid players and I like them, but we again traded for two men who belong on 7,8th place in a roster and dont move Mavs up in standings. Should have stood pat in this trade deadline, but I guess panic is setting in. Luka probably has his luggage packed at the door, just waiting for Miami to call.

Gafford was not even trade eligible during the KP trade, and obviously not interchangeable with the albatross Bertans.

You mention Bullock like we gave something away.  He is toast.

The Williams trade was a miss.  It happens.  I'm a little amazed we got off that contract.

PJ and Gafford are good young players on good contracts.  If we want to make a big trade this coming offseason, they will probably be worth in the ballpark of the draft capital we just spent.
