WEB Dallas Bolsters Frontcourt with Daniel Gafford Acquisition
Mavericks Trade Holmes and Draft Pick for Wizards' Center
Mavs Continue Roster Restructuring Ahead of Playoff Push
The Dallas Mavericks have made a significant move to strengthen their frontcourt, acquiring center Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Richaun Holmes and a 2024 first-round pick. The trade comes as the Mavericks look to bolster their roster ahead of a potential playoff push.
Gafford, a 6'10" center, has been a solid contributor for the Wizards this season, averaging 12.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. He provides the Mavericks with a physical presence in the paint, both offensively and defensively.
In Holmes, the Wizards receive a veteran center who has provided steady production for the Mavericks. Holmes is averaging 9.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per game this season.
The Mavericks' acquisition of Gafford is part of a larger roster restructuring effort that has seen them trade for star guard Kyrie Irving and forward PJ Washington in recent weeks. The team is hoping that these moves will help them compete for a championship this season.
The trade deadline in the NBA is set for February 9, and the Mavericks are expected to continue to be active in the market as they look to finalize their roster for the playoffs.
