Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Scott41theMavs]

If I try to think of who might still want Gafford, and I narrow it down to those who might want him in a bigger role, befitting his salary, the ones that come to mind are LAC (which Dan has covered thoroughly), NOP and maybe Charlotte?

Anyone from those other two make sense? I know the Pelicans have a lot of people on the trade market at the moment. I think Trey Murphy is a little too sought after to be the prize of a Gafford trade...anything on Charlotte?

EDIT: Nevermind on NOP - forgot all about Queen (how could I?)

I am sure they have hopes of trading Gafford somewhere - maybe not right away, but at some opportune time. That’s the big reason they would match on Cisse.
