MINNEAPOLIS – For Daniel Gafford, his NBA career had taken on a very similar path.
It consisted of 82 games. And even before those 82 games were over, Gafford had already made plans to take a vacation in the offseason.
But that all changed on Feb. 8 when the Washington Wizards traded Gafford to the Dallas Mavericks. At the time, Gafford had a strong feeling he wasn’t going to be taking an early vacation to some exotic hotspot this offseason.
“I wouldn’t be in this position if it wasn’t for that trade that happened in the middle of the season,”
Gafford said.
