Mavericks Acquire Daniel Gafford, Trade Cason Wallace
Wizards and Hornets Players Join Dallas Roster
June 22, 2023 - The Dallas Mavericks have announced two major trade acquisitions, adding center Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards and forward PJ Washington from the Charlotte Hornets.
Daniel Gafford's Impact in Dallas
Gafford, a 6'11" center, has quickly become a key contributor for the Mavericks since his arrival. His presence in the paint has provided the team with a much-needed rebounding presence, averaging 9.5 rebounds per game. Additionally, his defensive versatility has been instrumental in the team's improved defensive performances.
Cason Wallace Traded to Thunder
In a separate transaction, the Mavericks have traded promising point guard Cason Wallace to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wallace, the 10th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, has shown flashes of his potential but has struggled to find consistent playing time in Dallas.
PJ Washington Bolsters Frontcourt
The addition of PJ Washington further strengthens the Mavericks' frontcourt. A versatile forward, Washington can play both power forward and center, giving the team much-needed depth and flexibility.
These trades are part of a larger strategy by the Mavericks to improve their team's chances in the upcoming playoffs. With the addition of Gafford and Washington, the team believes they have assembled a roster capable of competing for an NBA championship.
