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.
I think the Mavs would definitely say no to this. The 10th pick and an expiring for DFS? That is insane. For a 30yo player with 3 yrs remaining, who, let's be honest, absolutely sucked in BKN. I love me some Doe Doe, but this is just ridiculous value. BKN would be lucky to get off that contract right now, and could probably get it done for just a salary dump. To get value for him would be highly unlikely. I have liked the idea of a Wood SNT going there for him if we can't find another spot for him. Wood would be a much better fit for BKN than DFS. But re-acquiring him is basically a homer play - if it were a blind player with his stats, it is a 0/10 idea. He is a reclamation project at this point. He was THAT bad. And tbh, he wasn't good in DAL last year either. I would be pretty pissed if we used a top 10 pick like this - basically worst case scenario to get off Bertans' contract. UGH!!!
Getting a player for the MLE, like Thybulle would be a better play - younger, cheaper, and wouldn't cost a freaking Top 10 pick!!!
