2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[jdb152]

I feel like folks are getting way too excited about Bertans.  He is considered one of the worst contracts in the league.  There are reasons for that.  Whether its his lack of defense, his injury issues, the fact that his only contribution on the court is to shoot corner threes, likely all of the above.  He has had one good season in his career.  The idea that we would be hesitant to send him out in a trade for Collins is greatly over valuing his likely impact on the court.

It's a bad contract attached to a limited player who needs to rehab his image. I would never argue against that. Still, I'm of the opinion that, in a league where we can see Russell Westbrook and John Wall's money moved, a contract that averages 16/per with 44 guaranteed over the next 3 years isn't sniffing the level of "Worst in the League". Not even close, imo.
