However KP was also not worth his contract, and his contract was a significantly bigger cap problem than Bertrans' contract is. Either living with overpaid Bertrans or finding a positive way to offload him are both easier now than doing either with KP would have ever been.
This ^.
The possibility (or likelihood) of DB not being "worth" his contract is such a non-issue in evaluating this trade. Worst case scenario with DB would be he sits injured, and is a clunky or poor quality fit with Luka when he plays. But, unfortunately, what we had in KP was those things more often than not -- but being paid double the salary.
