Mavericks lock in Daniel Gafford on extension

A writer's trade proposal would send Daniel Gafford and Aaron Nesmith to Atlanta, with Onyeka Okongwu landing in Dallas and Indiana picking up Max Christie and Mouhamed Gueye.

A proposed three-team trade would send Daniel Gafford to Los Angeles, reuniting him with Luka Doncic. Dallas would get Grayson Allen, Jaden Hardy and Dalton Knecht, while Charlotte would take on Caleb Martin and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Jake Fischer says Dallas is willing to trade veterans including Daniel Gafford, P.J. Washington and Klay Thompson for the right return, with the Mavericks long having asked for a first-round pick in exchange for Gafford.
