Bertans+THJ+McGee for Gobert. Get ready for it
In this apocalyptic narrative would Ben Simmons provide any vitriolic reaction???
It looks to me that Dallas either has to consolidate the salary of THJ and/or Bertans and/or McGee into a distressed but still playable asset. Or they have to find a way to take those contracts and turn them into 2-3 role players on contracts that are a bit overpaid.
What the Kyrie trade has done is take the flexibility out of long playing Bertans contract. Next TDL Bertans might get you to a higher paid player from a team who is needing financial relief. Unfortunately Dallas has to fix things sooner than the timing allows.
