They may have worse luck than DAL.

This board GREATLY undervalues Gafford.  It's crazy.  We haven't had a physically dominant C since Chandler.  It seems that we're all trying to acquire a player like Gafford, but once we have him we're looking to trade.  Real talk, Gafford's performance this year makes me more inclined to trade Lively for a badass SF like Murphy or Jones.

Which would you rather?  Murphy's poison pill probably rules him out.

Jones/Missi
for
Lively/Kleber

I don't know what the perception of Lively is with the rest of the league...

Thoughts?

I like Gafford. He plays with an edge, and he's one of the best rim protectors in the league. Plus, he leads the league in FG%. I was taken aback by posts suggesting they trade him. Lively may have more of an upside as he may be a little more athletic, better rebounder, and maybe shoot better from mid- range and beyond, and he has a penchant it seems to being hurt a lot. But Gaff is a dawg, and plays with a chip on his shoulder.
