Try to look at it as total minutes available to a position (82 games x 48 minutes = 3,936 minutes). Lively only played 1,293 minutes last year (55 games, 23.5 minutes), Gafford 1,816 (71 games, 24.5 minutes).Like I said, if Nico can sell Gaff on that he will be my new God.
If both Lively and Gafford play the same number of games at 28mins, the total minutes is 3,612, over 300 minutes left over.
Everyone seems to be looking at this from a Mavs fan point of view and not so much Gaffords.
As a Mavs fan I'd say hell yes at keeping both of them, but not at the sacrifice of areas of greater need.
Right now it makes complete sense because Lively is on a rookie deal and we have secured all of the necessary pieces to win a championship. The situation wont be the same in 2 years.
