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.
That makes sense also. Just find it interesting that he did the one thing that makes him trade eligible immediately. His agent in the background says, this is your market value ish and we’re getting you to team X. He’s the 3rd best Center on this team. He may not feel that way, but his Agent knows it. Either way, im perfectly fine with the 18M AAV. I said before that the Adams deal wasn’t the framework for Gafford, because he’s much better.
