This trade is interesting for all 3 teams involved so let’s break it down

Nola gets a young star who still has upside to improve and be great pieces around Fears Queen and Zion and they get a first rounder back despite giving up there second best player from this past year they are more so focused on young talent and draft capital moving forward so I like this for them

Dallas gets a shooter in Grayson Allen and likely would draft one or sign one in FA after this move although Gafford nor Grayson fit the timeline so this just gives them a more versatile fit player next to Flagg and Kyrie

Pheonix improves there teams fit and defense dramatically with this trade getting a great playmaking PG who isn’t a first option while also being a really big defensive improvement over Green

They also get a serviceable center in Gafford who provides great rim protection and athleticism and solid depth piece in this trade as well with Matkovic

Lemme know you’re thoughts and who says no and why
