Bertans + 1st FOR Bogdanovic?
The upside: BB is a really good offensive player.
The downside: Bogy's defense is horrendous (122 is really really really bad), per B-R. (He's the worst rotation regular on the 29th rated D in the league). His defense is so bad that he's probably a net negative player. And he turns 34 in April, with 2 more seasons after this one at 20M per.
Tempting, but I don’t think I’d pull the trigger. I just can’t justify using a pick like that with the trade market like it is. They’re going to need 3 picks and two swaps available soon to even make a bid on somebody truly difference making.
I saw a similar idea a couple of days ago that was essentially this same trade but with either Green or Hardy thrown in. I would probably just hang up the phone on whoever asked me for that in exchange for a 34 year old. This version is better and at least worth considering.
