Where would you put these three players in your wish for them being back next year: Bertans, Hardaway, Bullock?
Bertans- has negative value now. But with only 5 milliion guaranteed next year, he could be neutral at the trade deadline next year and may be a small asset next offseason.
Hardaway- Probably a neutral asset. There is a position crunch at his position. But I could envision a role for him if we draft and use the MLE on bigger players. You can never have enough shooters.
Bullock- Have no idea how he is valued as an asset. By role, he is probably the most valuable. But he was bad this year. Is this is who is is now? If he is combined with better defenders, will he play better? As an expiring, you could probably find a taker. Is it best to hold on to him and see how he starts the season? The issue is he typically doesn't make anything the first two months of the year.
I think at least one is gone next year. It may come down to who will give you a decent piece for any of them. But I could see all three being better assets at the trade deadline vs this summer.
