Would you rather trade Gafford to a team for an expiring and a 1st round pick or Gafford for Mathurin and an expiring knowing that Mathurin is due a large payday?
I would do it for Mathurin and an expiring player. Mathurin fits in the timeline with Flagg, Christie and Lively.
The problem is it will be really hard to shed enough cap to pay Mathurin without going into the tax if they are not trading AD at the TDL.
