2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

So assuming you do the Dragic deal and Dragic, Brunson, and Bouche walk then what:

You essentially lost KP for nothing right? 

Who do you sign with that cap space? 

The Wizards deal was the best deal, they bought a replacement for Hardaway and a possible replacement for Maxi while adding insurance for Brunson. 

If you consider the flexibility they have now the Wizards deal was the best deal and they still have the ability to add more pieces. 

I would venture to say that Bertans if his shooting comes back and Dinwiddie are upgrades over Maxi and THJ which makes them expendable. 



SMH

There is so much wrong with this.  

It sounds like you are saying Dinwiddie is a replacement for THJ?  They are completely different players that fill completely different roles.  They only thing they share is that they are overpriced and have questionable fit on this team.  

You are suggesting Bertans replaces Maxi?  They are also completely different players.  Maxi is probably our best defender who can both protect the rim and guard the perimeter.  Bertrans can't do either effectively.  He is 3 point specialist that brings nothing else to the table.  He is the replacement for THJ, only he is a worse player on roughly the same contract.

You are saying this trade gives us more flexibility?  So we can dump our current players because these new contracts are so bad nobody will take them? 

What ability do we have to add more pieces?

I am guessing most folks on this board would have preferred we trade KP for air (expirings that we have no intention of re-signing) than the package we got, and its not even close.  Those contracts (especially the Bertans one) are a potential chokehold on our flexibility for years to come if they don't completely turn their games around.
