Bertans is for sure way overpaid. He is elite in one skill though.
Man, I hope you're right. But honestly, I think Kleber is fast approaching elite at that very same skill, and HE is a two-way player. We'll see.
DFS...maybe. I just feel like guys of that length who can shoot and defend are pricey every year.
The point is, the Mavs have to start planning long term for their FINANCIAL future. Cuban might go into the tax at some point, but they won't be able to pay EVERYONE what they think they deserve. I think part of the reason they added the four rookies is to prepare for the idea of consolidating some of these good role players into one upgrade at some point in the near future.
