Davis Bertans expected to draw 1st round picks for the Wizards

[duncan2150]

I don't think a team will give a first for Bertans

That's just big speculation

[RC_Drunkford]

Bertans has a lot of value cause he got Steph Curry range and is 6'10'', but PATFO rather wanted to keep Belinelli. Classic Flopovich move like keeping Gasol instead of Dedmon.

Yeah, Bertans proving he's not a product of the Spurs system has to have his market value on the rise. He's basically putting up the same numbers he did in San Antonio (on a per possession basis) on a terrible team so other teams will know his skills are portable.

Why would anybody think Bertans was a product of the spurs system in the first place?

Look toward Memphis, tbh.

Yeah, but shooting tends to be a skill that travels well. Kyle was always a “fringe” nba player without that shot development even inside the Spurs system.

Timing.
If a contending team has a need before the deadline he will garner a 1st.
Also speculating.

[MultiTroll]

Pretty funny if he goes to the Clippers or Lakers and does well.

[BatManu20]

Will you s at least wait til he’s actually traded for a 1st round pick to start ing? It’s literally just speculation

IMO Pop ruined Kyle because every little mistake he made he took him out the game and yelled at him about it...to the point that Kyle just became obsessed about not screwing up...which in turn made him play timid...and he has never and won't ever come out of that...sort of like what he starting to do to Dejounte...but I feel like Dejounte would eventually pull a Kawhi and just bounce instead of sit at the end of the bench in near tears like Kyle did...

Kyle skills also kind of demand he play the uber big point guard position ala Ben Simmons...something the spurs were never going to let him do with parker mills and murray on the team...something memphis is never going to let him do with Ja Morant on the team...

Bertans is 6 "10" with a quick release and doesn't really want to do anything on the floor other than shoot 3's...he would fit seamlessly in virtually any nba offense...he even fit into our ultra conservative archaic offense...

Now...you probably won't be able to play him much in the playoffs because he is so bad defensively and so physically weak...but there isn't a team in the nba who he wouldn't help offensively...it's weird to me anybody would think otherwise...

Maybe if #beckywiththegoodplays was the coach Kyle would have turned out better...the only time I saw him look like a good nba player was when Becky was coaching him in summer league...

I can easily see a fringe playoff team giving up a top 20 protected pick for Bertans...I could easily so Orlando making a deal like this to help their anemic offense and the Wizards end up getting the protected 1st round pick we should have gotten but as usual our front offices balls were to small to actually trade a player like demar who needs to be traded...

[TimmyBuckets]

Spurs just keep getting ed.

[Maddog]

Well, yeah a late 1st rounder maybe
The Spurs have him up for a player who is more than that.
In recent years, I can only think of one other who reneged on an agreement.

[Genovaswitness]

damn the spurs should’ve worked harder to keep kawhi..

Pop ruined Kyle to the tune of $38 million.

Same team that gave Parsons that money after Cuban said he wouldn't pay Parsons cause his knees were shot tbh..

[Poolboy5623]

Good for him...I'm glad he was able to get away from this show and go somewhere he's actually appreciated.

[tbdog]

All the contenders will be looking at Davis come deadline time. He's more than worth a late first round pick for teams with championship aspirations that are lacking that one piece.

Teams aren't giving a 1st for a 3 month specialist. Unless someone offers a poor contract which cost a 1st
Even Tyrek Evans who was avg 20ppg wasn't fetching a 1st.

[anon]

Bud will want him but LDN will also be on the horn trying to recruit him to Hollywood, on Bron's orders.

[tb5]

Spurs should fix the clusterf*ck of this summer and try to get Bertans back. It wouldn’t be a bad thing. Otherwise let’s just blow it up if this record gets much worse and tank for a somewhat high draft pick lottery permitting
unless a decent 3 and D player can be had. It’s not like Bertans was this all world player but he was an important cog in what they do.

[SAGirl]

since 2014 which players were product of the "Spurs system"?

Great point. I don’t think this system does anybody favors.

[SAGirl]

Yeah, but shooting tends to be a skill that travels well. Kyle was always a “fringe” nba player without that shot development even inside the Spurs system.

He has been the same player there that he was in the Spurs tbh. If anything his shooting has gotten worse bc of his shoulder injury and he’s still a positive defensively even when the Grizzlies bench doesn’t have a proper center/rim protector and the team as a whole is terrible defensively.

If Kurt Thomas was worth a first back in the days, then Bertans is worth one too.

Some here keep saying we don't need 3pt shooters
