2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[mvossman]

Not sure anyone disagrees with you on that point (that if Bertrans can be part of deal that nets you Collins, you pull the trigger without a second thought). Kammrath said exactly that in the post before the one of his you were responding too. What I saw people arguing was that
a) If the Mavs can rehabilitate Bertrans then you don't need to look to just salary dump him
and
b) If the Mavs can rehabilitate Bertrans then he could be a piece in getting a real upgrade (like Collins)

Actually the original post I was responded suggested just that (reservations about giving up Bertans in a Collins trade).

I think the goal would be to rehabilitate Bertans so you can salary dump him without burning assets.  To think he could be worth anything more than salary filler in a Collins trade is wildly hopeful.
