Are we trying to get better at Maxi spot? He is a backup center who could be a backup 4 on a differently constructed roster. I would argue it is Powell spot we are trying to improve. If you have to send Maxi out to get a starting center then you do it, but Maxi is an even better fit on this roster if we get that center.
And I will say again, I will lose my shit if we make any kind of roster decision to get Bertans his minutes. He played less than 10 minutes a game (and some of that was garbage time) in a playoff series when we were terribly thin in the front court. In fact, if Cuban is chocking on the tax bill after signing Brunson to a big contract, and it is hampering other moves we want to make, I could live with stretch waiving Bertans. That would lessen the tax hit as well as the roster crunch.
