Great shooter, but he's an example of why we shouldn't overpay or draft a shooter too early, he was undrafted and Harris was the 33rd pick.

If people want a shooter so badly we could buy a 2nd rounder for Desmond Bane.

Bertans would get played off the floor in a series like this one, who on the Celtics or Heat would he be guarding?


Harris is a good player, but the premium to sign him is too high for what he does.

Think back to how vital Novak was to our 50 win success. I agree lights out shooters can be drafted but Bertans does it in more ways than catch and shoot. He’s effortless. He’s a competitor I don’t see him getting played off the floor. His defense for sure ain’t all that.

He's not gonna get paid like Novak though, he's gonna get a lot of money to be a specialist. I look at the players and try to think about whether or not he'd get any play in series like the one tonight, and I just don't see where he'd go. The Celtics just had 2 guards and 3 wings on the court, he isn't guarding any of those guys and on the other end they can guard him because Tatum and Jaylen are big wings.

I get the Heat play good defense, but throughout the playoffs, for a "Very Good" team, Boston seems to waste a decent number of possessions per game, where they just don't look that great or organized in their set, kind of take a low % shot.

I mean, obviously not constantly, but feels more than a truly elite playoff team does

Counterpoint: If the Knicks sign Bertans to a 3 year deal, they probably weren't making the playoffs in that window anyway.

Or in year 3, as a first round exit

Agreed. Build for the second half of the 2020s. Don't worry about playoffs before 2025.

Herro should’ve learned in college not to leave your feet when making a pass. Too many turnovers in this series.

We can't go from 1 extreme to the next, from not having shooters to completely overvaluing them because of it. If we haven't made the playoffs by 2022 something has gone wrong, because we should be able to build a solid base this offseason, and then expand on it next offseason. I'm more optimistic than most, blowing caps pace on specialists in a changing NBA is a bad move in my opinion.

I don't mind first round exit from a young team, I do mind a first round exit from a team 3 years from now paying big money to Bertans and Harris who are potentially starters?
