The Mavericks have dangled Daniel Gafford in trade talks around the NBA to hopefully acquire an impact wing defender, per @cclark_13
(https://nytimes.com/athletic/6067459/202...de-rumors/).
Gafford is averaging 11.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 20 minutes per game this season.
Yeah. Not sure they'll trade him, obviously, but it would be crazy not to at least find out what he's worth. No matter how good we think he is/isn't, his future here is backup center, and he's the rotation player most likely to be of less use in the playoffs. Mix in the salary cap situation, and I think it's pretty easy to see what they might be debating internally as an organization.
