It might be the opposite direction of how basketball is evolving but its a direction that maximizes Luka's impact. Luka is his most effective with a rim-running center and the Mavs also need a defensive anchor.
Lively was a perfect choice to fill that role but he's missed quite a few games this year so we got another player who maximizes Luka. In a couple of years, Gafford's contract will expire (or we'll trade him) and we'll be down to the one center. But in this moment in time we actually NEEDED the player despite how the league is evolving.
