Gafford Extension - 3 years almost $60M

[Tyler]

Interesting new note: Gaff deal said to have 5% trade kicker.

That might make him untradeable by the Mavs until at least 2026-27 season because of hard cap limits, unless he waives it.

Assuming that's true, and your interpretation of the impact is correct...

If I was a player agreeing to a deal early in order to be traded to a preferred team, this is exactly the type of clause I would want added. Just think of it as a different form of a no trade clause. Since he's the one signing first, it's insurance against Dallas changing the deal after the ink is dry.
