Bertans is pretty much a 6-10 Bryn Forbes - while useful during the regular season, the lack of defense makes him a liability if his shot isn't falling. Not really worth the contract he signed unless he can go on an extended hot streak in the playoffs to keep him in the rotation.

The 6-10 part helps a lot, he's not a good defender but he's gonna be harder for teams to hunt than Forbes was and you can hide him easier. Plus I think he's a better shooter, he takes and makes some really wild poo poo.

a trade chip for a dude who just got traded for a 2nd and cash lmao. what an ASSET

it's a perpetual narrative that swirls around ricky at the end of his contracts. he's just good enough that some team that needs depth at pg could theoretically want him but yet it never quite comes to pass. i could see him getting moved at the deadline for a second round pick or some reclamation project riding the pine on a contender but that's if "he plays well" means "he suddenly shoots about 50 points higher than his career average"

All valid points, but that contract size for someone who can and has been out of playoff rotations should have potential buyers concerned.

More likely they are going after a FA or RFA

They needed to dump their current primary playmaker so that Cade doesn't have to compete for the role with Plumlee

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
