It's a testimony to how bad the Mavs' situation is that, even though Kai Jones is the guy you want longterm (because he might be good enough to make Gafford expendable), and in spite of concerns we might have about Lively and Gafford's availability the rest of the year, Williams is the priority with Kyrie and Exum out. That is, presuming the rather distasteful view that ownership et al. are determined that the Mavs make the playoffs.
