Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford has now been in trade rumors for the second straight season, and him getting moved before the deadline could give Moussa Cisse an unprecedented opportunity. Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers have already shown interest in Gafford, and the Mavericks have a decision to make about his future.
If they want to make a push for the playoffs this season and avoid tanking, then Gafford needs to be their guy. He has been their most durable big man out of him, Dereck Lively II, and Anthony Davis over the last two seasons, and he already has experience in a playoff setting in a Mavs jersey.
