Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford continues to find himself at the center of persistent trade speculation as the franchise reshapes its roster ahead of the 2026–27 season. However, the Mavericks have reportedly placed a significant asking price on the veteran big man ahead of the regular season.
Brett Siegel of Clutch Points has provided insight into what Dallas would want in exchange for Gafford. According to Siegel, the Mavericks are willing to explore trading the athletic center, but only if another team is prepared to send a first-round pick back to Dallas.
"Speaking of Gafford, the Mavs continue to signal that they will be very open to any deal involving Gafford that would net them a first-round pick," per Siegel.
Gafford has established himself as one of the NBA's most efficient finishers around the basket. He remains under contract through 2029 at an annual salary of $18.1 million, yet his name has continued to appear in offseason trade conversations.
