Like many of you I’m sick and tired of AD. I didn’t want him here to begin with which only makes my frustration worse. BUT….This latest injury has ruined his trade value. It’s extremely poor asset management to trade him now. So screw AD and what he wants. AD is a center and not a 4. Any time he’s available to play, he plays the 5. He must remain a Maverick until his trade value recovers if or when that ever happens. Any extension will not even be discussed until he proves he can play the 5 effectively and remain healthy. It all this means keeping AD until his contract expires, then so be it. This is trade Nico made and Dumont approved. Live with it. So no trade, no extension and no more time at the 4.
So, with Lively and AD, Gafford is the odd man out. And since his style of play no longer fits, he is the one that should be traded. Personally I like the Pacer trade that has been suggested.
Keep Marshall and PJ until at least the trade deadline next year to evaluate where we are then.
If a salary dump is desired then Klay is the obvious choice along with any combination of Martin/Hardy/DAR.
Finally, hire a qualified, experienced, proven GM, so we’re never in a mess like this again.
