I do not like using a 1st to dump DB. I think DB is WAY too useful as a movement shooter to spend assets to get rid of. I would much rather keep him and play him.
Your probably in luck because I doubt our 22 is enough to get off that contract.
Its really hard to see Bertans as anything more than a 15-20 minute scorer off the bench that you hope to hide on defense. That is not worth anywhere near 17 mil. SA dumped him for nothing, the Wiz have been trying to get off that contract as soon as they signed it, the fans are super excited to see him leave and that contract is on most lists of terrible contracts. Add in his injury history and the fact that his shot is broken, and it feels like there is more hopeful projection here than what we did with JRich.
If we bring in Holmes, I really like the Holmes/DFS starting frontcourt and the DP/Maxi second unit. Where does Bertans fit in that? He would be our 5th best big. If you push DFS down to the 3, your eating into Bullock/Green minutes. Luka/Brunson/Din have the other two spots mostly locked up.
