Every good team has shooters. Nowadays, more than ever. And, he's not even close to the bad defender you make him out to be, imo.
Yeah, I pretty much hate him and his playstyle (just watched 10 minutes of the Wizards game and already hate Bertans as well). As for his defense, we'll agree to disagree. To me he's hitting the Bradley Beal type of defense. LAC will hunt him and switch for an easy bucket or Jackson will blow by him easily. Most games you can see him resting and not even caring about D, focused on hunting his FGA. Total liability and by a good margin our worst defender (Luka 2nd worst). I know that guards have in average a negative impact on D, but it's just exausting watching him.
Can't we exchange our shooter for shooters that play D or can handle the ball? We will have the cap space for it. M. Morris is an example. Good shooter and all, but his contract is close to an albatross. Doubt any Clippers fan would choose him over straight cap space.
