Their 2nd pick, #12, feels enticing. Swapping out a bad contract or 2 feels enticing. Micic seems enticing. Favors might fill a need here, and/or a backup wing. How much of that can you do where it's still a better value for OKC than gagging down RW's 47M waiver?
I am sure a lot of swaps are possible with them. Were you thinking something in the line of Burke, Brown, whatever for Favors? I don't see any other bad contract on their roster. I am not really impressed by Favors any more, he has several bad seasons behind him. Not sure he can turn it around in a better environment.
I am not in favour of paying assets just to dump Bertans. I am only interested in trades that improve the roster. Bertans is 30 mil cheaper next season than WB, but will clog the salary cap fro two more seasons when the team might actually want it. That is why I think the price of dumping Bertans is similar or even higher than price of dumping WB.
I am affraid I don't understand how would we be getting the #12 pick from them?
