Sign me up.
I would like that more than Gafford + picks for only one player.
I also think Dan's idea of doing something like that with Martin (or even Marshall).
Count me in for “giving away” Martin and Klay to save money and get under the aprons. They are more liabilities than positives going forward. Atlanta is one of the few teams that may be interested in Gafford, but not a chance in hell they’d give up the #13 pick for him. Maybe you could get a pick in the late 20s or early 30s, but the #13 pick in this draft looks to be a pretty good young player. I’d be happy to trade AD too, but if he were actually shopped, we’d all learn that his value is shockingly low compared to what the Mavs gave up for him. It would be an embarrassment for the franchise.
