Otherwise, their presence on your roster just makes it more difficult to acquire the requisite two stars needed to contend. That’s why they were so cheap for the Mavs to acquire in the first place. It’s going to be a buyers market for those two with a small number of suitors. And the Mavs while bordering the second apron cannot keep either past this season unless they move off Davis, which they should, but won’t do. The Mavs will need to trade with whoever they can, including the Lakers, and take what they can get.
So, in today's NBA, a 26 year old verstatile wing that can play both ways is a net negative value? Maybe the CBA is so utterly broken that this is true, but I find it hard to believe there won't be a robust market for Washington, and Gafford for that matter. I guess we'll find out.
