The fact that the Mavs have opened up a real threat to make a viable offer could also open up real SnT scenarios, that the Clips would consider. Maybe that’s Gafford. Maybe Martin. Who knows. I think Dan has been on this for a while and I’m starting to think there’s something there there.
Of all the overwhelming depth the Mavs have, the biggest positional gap they have is at SG, especially with Klay gone. The Mavs could do a lot worse than working out a way to take a shot on Mathurin. I wonder how much value Martin has and if he could be an outgoing piece. If there's anything I've learned this off-season it's that big names are worth less than I would've thought, while perceived bench players are still valued by GMs in an "eye of the beholder" kinda thing.
