I like that the Mavericks FO got Lively and Gafford this season. Both players are a huge improvement on Dwight.
However, my one remaining gripe is that neither Lively or Gafford can get stops on (or put off shot attempts by) any good perimeter players away from the basket. That is one reason why I wanted Jericho Sims. He can do what Lively or Gafford do, or be taught to do the things they do that he isn't doing already, at least for 20 minutes or until he fouls out... but additionally, he is the kind of defender who can get stops on (or put off shot attempts by) anyone.
Maybe try swapping Dwight for Sims in the summer?
