Looking at the stats for each draft position, you’d have to put Gafford as a top-10 pick. And he’s already developed, so there’s no risk involved.
It’s easy to want to trade my dull old quarter for that bright, shiny nickel.
Remember, two drafts ago, Atlanta wanted the 10th pick for an older, more expensive Clint Capella. If I'm the Mavs I want at least the 13th pick from them. I'd probably try and get a late 1st from the Nets and then make the Hawks trade 13+22 for Gafford and 27.
Edit: In fact, a 3 teamer with the Nets could generate the Mavs a $24 mil TPE.
Mavs get 13 and 22
Hawks get Gafford and 25
Nets get Martin
