But he'll be a UFA in 2025-2026. Maybe that's not a problem but certainly something to consider given the salaries here. 

Sure, but IF they're going to give another big contract out, don't we think it should be to a GUARD, and not a center? 

And if they can't, meaning choice of position is irrelevant, don't we think they should get something for Gafford now, while they can, even if it is just a rental? I mean, in that scenario, one could look at Gafford himself as a rental, in a way. 

Tough to know without knowing what both players' next salaries will look like, but I just can't look at this roster without feeling like moving some of the committed salary away from center and spreading it around more efficiently is the move, especially now that the log jam has spread from center to FORWARD. I mean, we can talk about Flag playing guard if we want, but that's not where he's going to be great. Him being here means more AD at 5, not less. It just does. It probably also means less PJW and Naji Marshall in general, tbh, and possibly even less Klay Thompson. These can be "good problems" as long as the Mavs aren't in denial about any of it.
