Davis Bertans was one of the impressive players in the roster of the Oklahoma City Thunder last season, and it is no secret that he provided the team with impressive shooting off the bench. Later traded to the Charlotte Hornets, the Latvian Laser now moves on to take his time and work out for the Golden State Warriors in the coming season.

Currently a free agent, it means that Davis Bertans is eligible to come up with a signing with any team that will offer him a promising deal to his liking. He did have a splendid season with the two teams he played with in the 2023-24 season, but now it does seem that he is keen to deliver his shooting talents to the Golden State Warriors, which can actually make use of his talents at this point.

The Warriors are in a rebuild mode right now following the departure of Klay Thompson and the trade of Chris Paul. While Stephen Curry is slated to return to the team for three more years, it can be said that any other firepower should be well-anticipated by the Warriors to improve their case for a championship after falling short in their campaign last year.

A Potential Veteran Addition

Davis Bertans is one of the most decorated players in the NBA in terms of playing experience. Aside from his stints with the Hornets and the Thunder, the Latvian big man also played for the Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs, and the Dallas Mavericks over the course of eight seasons.

In that span, Bertans averaged a 7.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 42.2% from the field and a promising 39.6% from three in a total of 475 games. He has also played in 45 NBA playoff games with the Spurs, Mavericks, and Wizards. His experience is quite a valuable addition to Golden State’s crop of youngsters, which should definitely be a promising boost to their chances.

At the age of 31, Bertans brings in a great dynamic for the Warriors. The team has lost one of its sharp shooters in Thompson, and while Bertans may not be a great shooter compared to Thompson, having him in the rotation still means a lot for the team as they get to add a reliable scorer off the bench when needed.

Another Shooting Big

The Warriors are known well for establishing the dynamic of three-point shooting over the years, and it cannot be denied that the team has kept the same identity at this point in time. Bertans has always been an elite shooter from three, and Golden State can definitely be a huge landing spot for the Latvian forward if they can agree to terms.

The Warriors have a total of 15 players currently on-contract in its official roster, but three of these players have currently a partially guaranteed or non-guaranteed deals. Bertans can be a promising addition to the team considering that he will be another big man who can also space the floor and shoot the ball much like Dario Saric, who has seen some impressive minutes with the Warriors last season.

So far, it is easy to say that Bertans will be a great player to add to the Warriors’ roster, and it is also expected that the Latvian will be joining the team anytime soon.
