There are things he can do and things he can’t, and I have pointed them out correctly. He wouldn’t be my first choice to trade, either. I put him on the list because he is not one of their top guys, and he makes real money. That was what I took to be the point of your earlier post, the intersection of those criteria. Gafford is the sixth most important Mav, at best. Good player! Not as important as Jones, in my opinion.
I also would not trade Kleber, and there are years and years and years of me defending HIM against all of the knuckleheads in here, too. I included him on the list because, again, he represents the intersection of middle of the totem pole and high dollar amount. On my personal list, he would be above Gafford.
If someone besides THJ has to go in order to get all accomplished this summer, my strong belief is that it will be Josh Green.
When you include Gafford and Kleber as ones you think are options to trade this summer, in multiple posts, and then come back to that again AFTER you acknowledge their importance, I don't see that as an indicator that you feel they are vital to keep. You can't have it both ways.
I do agree that Green makes sense in a lot of ways (but not in some others), and I would add Hardy to that list. Maybe Exum. But definitely not DG or MK.
