2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[F Gump]

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.

I think you will be way wrong on all of this. We'll see.

Yes he was (while on the Wiz) considered a bad contract, playing on a team that misused his skills. The reason is no mystery - he wasn't getting minutes and shots. Way down from prior years. But I expect Bertans, on a team who wants him to get and take shots, who needs elite shooters, will prove to be a hugely important contributor to success.

To me, this is the marksman upgrade we've needed from THJ. DB's skill set is more suited to Luka, and his C/S shot is more consistent.
