Trade & FA 2024-25:

I just don’t see Dallas taking the risk of moving Gafford when Lively is constantly missing games with various ailments.

I do think Herb Jones would be a more valuable player but it’s creating one hole to fix another. If they trade Gafford, they need to find another big man.

Combine that with the Pelicans like Yves Missi and not having much use for Gafford.

If there is a chance to acquire Jones and the biggest piece going out is Gaff, then I think the Mavs need to do it. 
Backup centers are a dime a dozen but elite wing defenders who can guard multiple positions are rare.

I'm not so sure Mavs couldnt go small ball for long stints if needed with Jones and PJ in the lineup.

That is a risk the Mavs should take imo.
