That’s kind of interesting. If Luka’s injury was to take him out for a month, I’d be real interested.
One note regarding Bertans. I’d rather send THJ to the Laker’s than Bertans (maybe get some other asset from them since THJ is probably the better player). Bertans is super easy to S/W in about 15 months. Simply don’t play him in 75% of next year’s games and in the summer of 2024 you divide his remaining $5mm by three and the cost is minimal. It wouldn’t have to be Dallas doing this. We could trade him as essentially an expiring contract as early as this summer.
So, 22/23 is a total punt. But, this summer you have cap room, four picks of your own and the two from this trade to use in an overnight rebuild. Heck, maybe KD is available by then. Do we have confidence Nico can use those assets to do an overnight overhaul?
