Re Bogy, I don't know whether he is the guy to target, or whether the price is right. Some comments ...
1 I figure Pincus' thinking is that DET would be getting their desired FRP for him from Dallas in part based on a willingness to take Bertans --iow, part of what Dallas would be paying for would be getting out from under the Bertans deal. And from the Mavs end, maybe they see it being worth it to pay to get rid of DB when in the same deal they can be getting a useful player too.
2 No discussion by Pincus of what sort of FRP he is thinking it would take, but FRP values are "negotiable" to some degree -- where the pick might be protected to a point, AND with the further possibility that some protection clauses, if triggered, roll a FRP into a second rounder.
3 As for BB's value, on offense there's no question -- he can score from anywhere and does it well (this season he's close to a 50/40/90 guy, which is incredibly elite efficiency).
4 As to whether BB sux as a defender, I would wager no one here really watches him play with any regularity and focuses on his defense, and I don't either, so I just see what the rating says. BR's number is their defensive PPP determination for a player, and it says he's awful, basically the worst defender on the league's worst defense. I have no idea how B-R determines their defensive rating, but if there is any validity to it, it's telling that it also says BB was UT's worst in each of the last 2 seasons as well (I didn't look any farther than that, because imo what he used to be years ago isn't all that relevant).
5 FWIW B-R ratings tell us Lavert is CLE's worst defender on the NBAs 2nd best D, which might be relevant for comparative purposes.
