Toronto Raptors consider Daniel Gafford trade for roster enhancement

The Toronto Raptors may pursue a trade for Daniel Gafford from the Dallas Mavericks as they prepare for the upcoming 2026-27 NBA season. Gafford, a 6'10'' forward, would add size and depth, providing insurance for center Jakob Poeltl. Currently, Gafford is averaging 9.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game. With Dallas recently finishing a tough season, they might look to trade him for assets. Gafford signed a three-year extension and remains under team control through the 2028-29 season, offering a long-term option for Toronto. Raptors GM Bobby Webster is expected to explore this trade opportunity in the coming months.
