re: Gafford with 19 pts and 9 rebs in his Mavs debut

At what cost? Keep in mind Gafford makes about 20% more than Larry next year and Gafford would put them about 10% closer to the luxury. Player for player? Sure. But that wouldn't have been the deal.

You could just throw in EJ and that would match Gafford money exactly for next year. EJ is dead weight.

I’d easily throw in our first this year to get that done. We don’t need to add a rookie picked in the 20s to this roster if we’re trying to contend.

Gafford is worth the 13m he’s making next year. Larry is barely playable now, he’ll be even worse next year
