How does this fix our defense? I didn’t know Dave Bertrans was a defensive anchor??? Cmon now. We lack DEFENSE. Go to the pelicans and see if we can get Herb Jones or Trey Murphy, if possible both

I mean it would help us get off of Dres contract but I feel like a package of Dre Bey and AJ could get us more in return

Doesn’t really help us. Getting off of Dre’s contract would be nice. Don’t think selling off Bey and AJ at his lowest possible value is the way to do that. I’m also not sure our front office is at a point where we would just want to give up assets just to get off of Dre’s deal. Especially not if we’re taking on multi year contracts back instead of expiring contracts.
I wouldn’t hate having Eason, but getting Bertans is a hard pass for obvious reasons. Especially if next year is guaranteed on his deal. (It seems like next year is a player option for him, so yeah definitely no)
This just seems like a bad trade for us overall really. Also I don’t think any combination of trades is going to make us a better team on paper this year. Our whole strategy is likely to be buying low on some players while accumulating draft picks if we’re selling. If we’re buying it’s more likely to be creative deals that are better in game fits that improve our defense and floor spacing. Eason/Bertans theoretically do that, but Bertans price is a pretty big hurdle. OKC isn’t likely to get off of that contract while getting the best player in the trade for just a 1st rounder.

I remember when I wanted tari eason over AJ on draft night 🫠
Edit: I’m saying this as in I remember when I was right and the front office drafted a guard yet again when we didn’t need one.
