Daniel Gafford Contract & Salary

Daniel Gafford is on the books for $17,263,584 in 2026-27, the 3rd largest cap hit on the Dallas Mavericks roster and 9.7% of the team's $177.2M payroll.

That ranks 107th among the 434 players with a 2026-27 salary on the books, and eats 10.5% of the $165.0M salary cap.

The deal has 3 seasons left on it, running through 2028-29, worth $54,380,289 in guaranteed money.

The money climbs as it goes: $17,263,584 in the first year up to $18,989,942 in the last, a 10% rise across the deal.

Every remaining year is fully guaranteed — no options and no non-guaranteed money, so the full amount is owed regardless of what happens.

At 28, this contract runs through his age-30 season, so the back end lands after the usual peak.

He is one of the three highest-paid players on the roster, which puts him in the group the payroll is actually built around.

He is one of 15 players on the Dallas Mavericks' books for 2026-27, whose 2026-27 salaries add up to $177,194,562.
