Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[Smitty]

Mavs may want FRP as much as they want, it doesn't mean that Atlanta is willing to give it. They are a weak play-in team as it is. Gafford doesn't make them that much better that it would make sense to trade FRP for him (unless it is something heavily protected and bad). 

In any case, Atlanta took Landale from Utah for cash and I think that ends their center discussions for this season

Then there won’t be a trade? Also, I don’t think the Landale addition makes them less likely to pursue Gafford. He’s a spare.
