The Washington Wizards are nearing a deal to send Daniel Gafford to the Dallas Mavericks for Richaun Holmes and draft compensation, sources tell ESPN.

I think DAL got a pick to take on Holmes contract and is now giving up a pick to get what they hope is a useful player. Gafford has this season and 2 more years, Holmes has this season and a player options (that I guess he picks up).
What happened to Holmes? It wasn't that long ago that he was a decent player. He is only 30. Now he is just dead contract weight that you have to attach a pick or picks to (we'll see when the details are reported), in order to trade.
