Charlotte Hornets: Davis Bertans

The 31-year-old sharpshooting big has always been too overpriced for the Boston Celtics to even ponder about. Davis Bertans, the Latvian Laser is a career 39% three-point shooter in eight seasons of play. In 28 games with the Hornets, the forward averaged 8.8 points on 38% shooting from three on more than six attempts. Maybe, fellow Latvian Porzingis can put on his recruitment cap and lure the Cs to a dangerous sniper in free agency.

The Boston Celtics could use long-term replacements for Al Horford and more depth to compete with teams aiming to close the gap.

The gap was once the size of the Atlantic, but it's more like the Charles River now.

Bertans has always been a plus defender and elite shooter, two areas that make for an elite role player in a playoff rotation.
