How did you get to that comparison? Kid is 5 yrs younger than Daye and already has 30lbs on him. I see him getting pulled in two directions...Kawhi saying "Hit the gym and be more like me" and Boris telling him "no, no, no, just add 20lbs of fat and you'll be just like me".
Bertans won't be over this season.
Did something change? Anderson being drafted shouldn't affect that.
Still has 2 years on his deal with Pertizan. Not sure if that effects the buyout process but they won't bring him over just to see him go.
He only has one year (this upcoming season), which can be bought out easily. More than that, Bogdanovic's agent said Bertans was heading to the NBA this season. Not an ironclad confirmation, but a strong sign that it is going to happen. Some folks think the agent simply meant the summer league. But even if that's true, the SL roster I proposed would still include Bertans.
I hope that's the case. I'd like to see what improvements he's made since the injury. From what I've read he's struggled and has been off the bench but he's surrounded by a bunch of young guys without a lot of experience together.
This is a actually a pretty nasty poster from someone "slow and nonathletic"

He also, as I've read, has a ridiculously high BBall iq. Pop just slobbers over high IQ guys. Horry, Diaw, Finley.
He needs playing time. Lots of it. Needs one more year in Europe.
He's struggled since he's been back, as mentioned above, he's been coming off the bench
He can get that in the d-league. And he can learn the Spurs' system.
What kind of salary are we looking at for Bertans?
$473k is the rookie minimum. He'd probably get closer to $900k if he signs a three- or four-year deal.
That's not bad at all. I'd love to see what Bertans can do, I genuinely think he'd be a great stretch 4. I wonder if they'll have Daye in the SL as well to get reps.
Better compe ion in Europe than the d league.. He needs the better comp. also takes up a roster spot. He's fine where he is.
Send me links of DL sites tbh
The compe ion aspect doesn't matter. The dude's been a pro for a while now. If he's struggling there, leaving him isn't going to help. In Austin, he'd get time just like in Europe, but the Spurs could control his development.
Also, if Bertans can't make this Spurs roster, he can't make one for the foreseeable future. If Thomas gets a spot this year and LJC comes over in 2015, Bertans is probably on the outside for a few years.
Still under contract in Europe
We went through that already.
Everybody's looking at the basketball aspects, but what I find ever more convincing is that KA seems to be perfect Spurs material in terms of character. Reading his tweets shows that he's a "team first" player with a healthy dose of humility. I also get the feeling that he's happy to have the opportunity to play for the Spurs (of course they are the defending champs, so it helps, but I was thinking more in terms of system, team play and so on).
He really gives me the impression of being yet another player who was "born to be a Spur".
it's blessing for him that he is arrive in time to play together with Duncan, just moment before Timmy hung up his shoes ...
do you think that if he was a dead eye shooter he would have been Larry Bird type player?
Solid pick, tbh. The kid is gonna mesh well with the Spurs.
He has only one year left.
