Holding onto AD really limits what they can do this TDL. I think they need to send out Klay for space and I would be happy if they can get value out of Gafford, but it can't be somebody like Coby or Mathurin who will be looking for bigger contracts.
You bring up something that I'm curious about. What do the Mavs want to do this TDL now? Would they rather have the new GM work some of this in the summer? Are there pressing contract issues that would be smarter dealt with now?
When AD was the main trade bait, it seems moving players had a certain sequence to it. It doesn't feel that way anymore.
To me it seems like the tax may be the most important issue facing the Mavs rather than the acquisition of specific players.
