PJ/Gafford is a perfect salary match for the contract that White just signed. Do the Mavs look at something like PJ/Gafford for White + 2026 or 2027 FRP? Helps them compete now and gives Kyrie a great defensive minded compliment in the backcourt while also gaining some draft capital for flexibility moving forward while giving Boston two competitive players who happen to be on expiring deals.
White is tempting if they stay in win-now mode, but he'll be 31 next year. I'd hate to give up PJ for him without seeing what he looks like next to Flagg. Gafford on the other hand feels like the odd man out on the current roster. I could get behind something like Gafford+Christie+LA 1st for White.
