TBH, it was said that Bertans is a good shooter too and that he would bounce back. Still waiting for that to happen. I’m not even sure I want to extend that Bertans contract by turning it into DR. Especially if Cuban’s wallet is tight.
Being opportunistic with Cha (maybe Was) is still the only way we are able to move off all these bad contracts in my mind. Them getting some cap space, a big time pick in the draft and getting Bridges back next year turns that team around in a hurry IMO.
Agree on all. DR doesn't seem that different to me than Bertans, in both play and contract. I'm struggling to see how adding another terrible long term contract for a guy that gets less than 10 minutes a game for a middling first is a good long term direction to take. I don't really see any way this happens. Teams in the tax don't take on bad contracts for picks, and Cuban doesn't opperate this way even when he has cap space available.
