Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

[KillerLeft]

Not sure I'm ready to say Gafford doesn't fit. We saw what he could bring and how nice it is. It's obvious he is a luxury and he shouldn't/isn't getting minutes over Lively and Maxi in crunch time.

I just think the coach is failing at utilizing him properly.

He fits great...as a backup center. 

The problem is that backup centers don't actually play much when the rest of the team is healthy, and so they aren't worth $12 Mill per year and an unprotected pick swap from a year down the road when you might be awful. 

For the role that's actually available behind Lively (who's MUCH better) and Kleber (who's MUCH better), is Gafford really that much better than Powell?
