Trading Bertans instead of THJ gets the salary reduction bigger, but I’d expect they’d want more compensation than that (honestly with THJ I’d expect that too). If Green is truly a $30-35M player, that deal doesn’t compensate for him whatsoever. The salary is right, I just think our unprotected 27 will have to be the compensation. I’m on the fence about that. Green could absolutely be one of the pieces to the championship puzzle, especially with Kidd continuing to be the coach (the more coaches on the floor, the better). He just seems to be aging so poorly (add to that all the signs pointing to Kyrie aging poorly too). I think I’m more out than in.
Edit: NVM, can’t do Bertans instead of THJ in your trade structure.
