Trade value can fluctuate wildly in the NBA. A team may acquire a player in the offseason and have a certain value for them. Fair.

They ought to remember that their value could change at any moment. For example, look at Patrick Beverley of the Los Angeles Lakers. He’s done his trade value no favors in 2022-23.

Unfortunately, at 34, it doesn’t appear likely to increase. He’s become too great of an offensive liability and went from being that sparkplug that gets a defense firing at a higher level to just being a net negative on the basketball court.

This summer, it would have been higher than Davis Bertans of the Dallas Mavericks. By now, it surely isn’t. He signed an awful contract with the Washington Wizards and has been heavily overpaid since.

However, Bertans’ contract is getting increasingly close to its end while Bertans remains a sharpshooter that can help to provide needing floor spacing.

Could the two swap sides this season?
