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.
They didn’t have a robust market when the Mavs traded for them. Why would they have a robust market now? Unless you’re a contender, they’re not the kind of player you give up real assets for. They’re not good enough to elevate your team unless you already have a couple of great players. They may not be huge salary guys, but they’re still too expensive in the very near future to roster if you don’t already have great players. I’d expect the Mavs to get about 75% of what they gave up for them. They were perfect mid salary guys for the Mavs to surround Luka with, but their success was more about Luka than them. Maybe the Mavs could get a decent asset from LA.
