While Dallas' Anthony Davis trade made this move less necessary, it was still surprising the Mavericks didn't trade Daniel Gafford.
Following the Dallas Mavericks' trade of Anthony Davis yesterday, many media members and fans thought another move would be coming for the Mavericks, but it ended up not being the one they expected.
Dallas rerouted Malaki Branham to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for point guard Tyus Jones shortly ahead of the 2 p.m. CST trade deadline today, but most Mavericks fans were expecting Daniel Gafford to be the next Maverick traded, as Gafford was the most highly-rumored trade chip on Dallas' roster outside of Davis this season.
