2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Chicagojk]

I'm at the point with Bertans where I'm actually ok if he's on the roster for at least the next year. He's a stretch big that can knock down threes at a premium rate. His defense leaves a lot to be desired and he can't do many other things, BUT shooting trumps all. 

Also I just don't think the Mavs can realistically move off of him without paying a hefty price. If we're paying a hefty price, I'd rather us use our assets to bring in the best possible player rather than using some of said assets to move off a bad contract. It's not like we need the cap space.

 I expect Bertans to be here for a while.   Just going to be tough to find takers.

I don't know if I truly believe this but I do think it is possible if the Mavs found an elite defensive center, Bertans could be more valuable to this team than Kleber.   Salary considerations need to factor in too though.  But if you had an elite defensive center, I could see Bertans in a sniper role off the bench for 15 or so minutes a game.
