Gafford Extension - 3 years almost $60M

[Chicagojk]

If it’s really the $54m that Stein reported, making him trade eligible, there’s no reason Gafford does it unless there’s a deal in place to get him to a spot where he can start?? I think we’ll get Gafford news: traded to LAL/ATL/CHI around the draft.

I tend to disagree.  Gafford gets security. With potentially one more payday in his career after this one.

Dallas gets to be patient and see how everything fits.  If Lively as good as I think he can be and Davis shows he can’t play 32 minutes at PF, then Gafford can be moved as a cost controlled asset.  

It just gives Dallas time.  Maybe Gafford is here for the next four years, but I also think he increases as an asset if he stays healthy. 

I don’t believe they signed him to trade him immediately.
