In this scenario, we give Eugene more minutes and grab another big from the G or from FA. In this scenario, we likely get salary filler or a TPE attached to maybe a few draft swaps, a late first, or a handful of seconds. If we are lucky maybe we get a raw prospect. We also have a better chance at the #1 pick.
Gafford is a microwave player, but not the longterm solution for any team at big. His optimal role would be off the bench for a contender providing energy, rim-protection, and rim-running in spurts. Kinda like a worse Javale McGee.
Surprised people wouldn’t trade Gafford for draft capital. I love big dandan don’t get me wrong but everyone is for sale outside of bilal this season for me. I don’t think gafford has star potential and if someone gave us a good deal he should be straight out the door.
gafford isn’t even starter material, let alone a star. they should absolutely trade him for any positive value if someone is desperate enough to take his contract.
