As much as I dislike the PJ Washington trade, I like the Gafford move. We have been a much better team this season when Lively is in the game. What I really wanted was a Lively clone. Gafford is pretty close to that. He'll provide similar rim protection, rebounding and elite finishing at the rim as Lively. He immediately becomes one of the league's best backup bigs. I like his contract. I like his effort on defense. I think he'll love playing with Luka.
When everyone is healthy, this will give us a bench of THJ, Gafford, Exum, DJJ and Kleber. That is one of the best benches in the NBA.
I think the Gafford acquisition was a winning move and makes us the favorite for the 6th spot in the West. I think a Booker or Durant injury would give us good shot at 5th. Overall, I think today was a decent day. I just can't get over the top-2 protected pick for PJ Washington. I can't wait to see Gafford play with Luka and Kyrie though.
