2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

You have a desire to win this trade, it's obvious, thus the silly comps.  These aren't my assertions but what the rest of the league feels about him, the media covering him and most importantly his now former team.  So no, him having a terrible contract isn't my assertion.

Take Kuzma for example, sucked in LA and traded to a coach that could leverage his skillset where he knows what is expected and he is having a career year. 

Some of these NBA guys especially the role players typically require more things to cater to their comfort level to get the best out of their abilities. Its the same reason why we saw Rick do better with guys like Brandon Wright who were thought to be busts. 

Bertans has never played with a guy like Luka and and Brad Beal who is the closest to Luka in terms of offensive ability was never a guy that could make his teammates better. 

We all need to take a step back and remember not all things are equal here. We have a lot of intangibles that suggest Bertans fits better for us and what we do than he did in Washington. 

I love the trade, I just hate we have a gaping hole at Center. If we could somehow get Nurkic on this roster then the trade turns into, Bertans, Nurkic, and Dinwiddie for KP. You can replace Nurkic with any of the buyout bigs and its a much better trade because we got rid of one guy for 3 rotation pieces that will help us for a deep playoff run.

This was a good move and likely one that was done for what could come in the buyout market, i.e. a Big to add to it.
