We clearly need a better backup center. I think DP might be more functional if we had a bigger 4 to play with him. However, lineups with him and Grant Williams are clearly failing.
I've posted trade proposals for Wendell Carter Jr before and I think he would be a good fit here.
Another good fit who is likely available is Daniel Gafford. He is among the best rim protectors in the NBA. He is an above average rebounder. He is an elite finisher at the rim shooting over 69% from the field. His FT percentage is solid for a big as well at 70%.
The Wizards are terrible with minimal promising young talent- they are a lock to tank for the next several seasons.
I believe a fair trade would be the following:
Mavs send Richaun Holmes, Maxi Kleber and their 2027 unprotected first to the Wizards i.e. Daniel Gafford, Delon Wright and Gallinari.
Gafford gives us great platoon center to go with Lively and is on a reasonable contract.
Delon Wright and Gallinari are expiring contracts and would free up enough room for us to have the full MLE this coming summer.
I think this solves two big problems for us. I'd even consider including Jaden Hardy in the deal if the Wizards would include a future 2nd rounder.
