The Washington Wizards have made another awful start to the season, although Davis Bertans has impressed managed to impress through 25 appearances - averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

Bertans will become an unrestricted free agent next summer, and Dan Favale of Bleacher Report believes that the Celtics could send Enes Kanter, Vincent Poirier, and a 2020 pick to Washington in exchange for the Latvian:

He's a free agent after this season, at which time they (Washington) won't have the full-strength sample to discern where they fit in the Eastern Conference. Boston has the supporting cast to make it work and his paint protection might improve on a team that doesn't automatically fold in the half court.

Bertans has spent much of his career playing at power forward, although the 27-year-old occasionally played at the five during his time in San Antonio. He would also serve as an offensive-minded alternative to the defensive focused Daniel Theis.
