Possibility we could see Bertans come over this year

[Godbama]

I mean, about minutes, I feel like as defending champions for this season we can surely rest Timmy and Manu even more more than we did last season, maybe more Parker resting too. Timmy's old, Parker and Manu have both been struggling with injuries. Why not? I'm confident we could still make a decent run at home advantage. At that point you might be able to distribute even more minutes further on down the bench.

Bertans instantly better than ayres

How much of a step backwards. I have watched a couple Bertans games, and while he is interesting, I haven't been impressed with the level of compe ion that he was playing against. The team he just left couldn't even pay the players. Not exactly Europe's finest, it doesn't seem. But, then again, I don't watch much Euroball. Maybe that is some of the finest compe ion over there.

Partizan played at the highest level of international compe ion over there in Euroleague. The Adriatic League is also above the D-League in general, though not as much as Greece or Spain traditionally are.

One of the best things about playing in the D-League is the fact that the pace is faster on average than that of the NBA and most other pro leagues. One gets a really good impression of a player's fitness and conditioning if he plays good minutes in the D-League, at the same time allowing for more practice and recovery time between games.

Depending on the deal and buyout we probably won't see him as a Spur ever

Not worried about that. He had to sign somewhere. He's also not Lorbek. Pretty sure the buyout is manageable. He does want to come over, so he's not going to shoot himself in the foot.
