Do you think he's that big of an upgrade from Gafford?

IMO, our center rotation shouldn't be tampered with, especially if it's not a trade for a stud SF.  I mean trading for a C with Gafford is kinda just shifting parts.

I am not sure.  I don't think I would do it for the big dollars Claxton has coming to him.   In an ideal role, he would be a backup.  That is tough to pay as a backup with all the big $ we have.

I don't think he has Gafford's elite finishing, but is a good role man.  He is also a better, more flexible defender.
