Trade & FA 2023-24: Sexton On the Market? | ORL Likes Hartenstein?

Plus minus. Eye test. The last series. So let's make Gafford expendable. "But I really like him, it's just a DJJ thing." That's what I am hearing repeatedly, and I'm not seeing any of it is a good reason.

I seriously think you are way too cavalier with your criteria for replacing a player that is very useful. I

There are WAY better options available, and the disclaimer about DJJ doesn't mitigate the fact you did pick, and bash on, Gafford as your proposed route because of plus minus, eye test (whatever very subjective thing that means), and total recency.

Gafford is still young. He is just now on his first few months with a decent team and learning how to play in this system. He makes plays all the time. His contract is reasonable. For equal or less dollars, he is offering WAY more than players like THJ and Green.

Simple question: IF the Mavs had to make a choice of who to jettison between Green, Gafford or DJJ (assume they must, because that’s the premise) who do you choose to move? 

I could be talked into either Green or Gafford, but I know Jones is the one I’d want back most!
