I think the Lakers might actually appreciate Bertans as lord knows they could use some shooting but you still might need to tip them for the contract. It's that fine line between some value and too much value.
Not that it's possible, of course, but if it could be just Bertans-Powell, I'd be tempted. But I still might say no on RW.
I really think Bertans will offer better contributions this season, because you have a specific role to use Big Man Shooting 3s. Whereas, I'm not sure how you use RW and get something helpful. And I think when you're elite, you fill out your roster to maximize your chances this season, save a really good young addition that you know just needs some time. There aren't a lot of minutes to waste when prepping to play for higher stakes.
