Go google any "worst contracts in NBA" list and Bertans is generally in the top 5. Tim is not in that ballpark. His value is going to be a little depressed right now because he started last season slowly and then missed the rest with injury, but that is something that can be erased with a decent couple of months.
Tim is not skilled at playoff winning bball? He score over 17 points a game on decent efficiency against elite NBA playoff defense two years in a row. To be honest, given your sig, I expected a little better argument than simply calling our players trash.
Trash was the wrong word. Im guilty.
I threw out the "try trading him" to paint a picture of demand for his overall skill. It wasnt the prettiest picture...but a picture.
Contract has nothing to do with my overall assessment of the two players. I stand by my initial statement that THJ isnt that much better than Bertans. Surely not significantly. My opinion.
The extended argument is going to be that THJ is more versatile due to his athleticism or something along those lines. I give you that...THJ might do a few more things or bring a few more things to the table offensively. I still stand by my evaluation of THJ not being significantly better than Bertans.
There is no need to muddy this debate with bringing up THJ intangibles such as leadership and what not. Im strictly talking about on court value.
