Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[DanSchwartzgan]

You view Mathurin more as a Guard than Wing? Do you think the Clippers send back SRPs to the Mavs? Or do you think it's an even SnT deal? What would the salary look like for Mathurin?

I think you let him cook off the bench as the scoring sixth man.  I view him as a 2/3 w/creation ability.  

I have no idea how to value how many second round picks to put in something like this...if any.  Are you suggesting Gafford is X seconds more valuable than Mathurin?  Or, is it the fact he's a FA?  LAC will just match, so there is value in making it a S&T as they (and the player) have to agree or there is no way to acquire him.  

I would have said salary at something above the MLE so that you are paying something other teams can't pay.  But the salaries given to Sexton and Simons have frankly been kind of shocking.  So, I really don't know what to think guys like this are going for now.
