Should the Boston Celtics trade Anfernee Simons for Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford? The Celtics have a paper thin big man rotation at present, and are looking at a lot of potential losses over the next week or two due to the absence of former backup big (and current starting center) Neemias Queta simply because they do not have another frontcourt player able to play starting minutes reliably.

Add in that the Mavs need a guard while Kyrie Irving recovers from an ACL injury, and that they could survive with one less big man, and there might be a trade to be made between these two teams. The folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" show looking into a swap like this one.
