"Dallas instead used Bertāns' contract to move down two spots in the draft to select Duke center Dereck Lively II at No. 12 and likewise move far enough away from luxury-tax territory to gain use of the full non-taxpayers’ $12.4 midlevel exception in free agency to pursue top wings in free agency (starting with Denver’s Bruce Brown)."
That may seem redundant with so many guards on the roster, but would make sense if you move off of Reggie. Maybe Reggie for Slow-Mo or Olynyk or some other non-star bigger forward. Brown is still young, obviously defends well and can handle a few minutes at PG.
Not that long ago he was playing small ball center for the Nets. Basically the modern day dream of a versatile positionless player that can play any given role depending on the teams needs.
