Who says no?
Spurs are the one team that makes sense for Bertans. Good locker room guy that Pop can trust. Spurs essentially trade 10 million in cap for pick 21. They need to hit the floor pre-season anyway
Nets need to shed salary. Both now and future. Cam Johnson extension will be expensive. Dorian doesn’t fit their plans. They can build around Bridges/Johnson/Claxton/Pick 10 as their young core.
Mavs would get the versatile defensive wing we need. Be in good shape cap wise. And still have a late 1st and the exception to add players
I think this is one of the best and most reasonable trade proposals I've seen. I think all three teams would be getting what they want.
I believe the Spurs might want a little extra draft compensation- perhaps a couple of 2nd-round picks. I think Brooklyn might be willing to include that. The 10th pick would get Brooklyn one of the better PG prospects- Cason Wallace, Hood-Schifino or Kobe Bufkin. I think Finney-Smith is superfluous for them and they would prefer to have less cap obligation.
I think only a few teams will still be tanking for the 2024 draft and so the premium to take on bad contracts will go up a little. I think the Spurs would want a bit more to absorb the Bertans contract but it would be a small adjustment.
Overall, excellent trade proposal. I would like to see this happen.
