Report: Spurs to make Davis Bertans minimum contract offer

[Uriel]

This was widely expected by people who followed his career closely, but it's still good news nonetheless. We finally have our new Red Rocket.

The San Antonio Spurs are always having their eyes open in the European market and in this case their interest is not a secret. Davis Bertans of Laboral Kutxa may end up in Texas after all.

The Latvian forward who was selected with the 42nd pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers and had his rights traded to San Antonio, can make the jump to the NBA. According to Eurohoops sources, the Spurs are ready to make him an offer for a minimum contract.

Bertans has one more year left in his contract with Laboral Kutxa, but he can be bought out. Despite an ACL injury on his right knee, the 24 years old player for years is under the Spurs’ microscope and now the timing can be right for him to travel to the NBA. After all, he had his latest knee surgery and rehabilitation on April in San Antonio, before returning to Vitoria for the end of the season.

Bertans is playing alongside an other Spurs draftee in Laboral Kutxa, Hungarian forward Adam Hanga who had in total a much better season. However, the shooting ability of Bertans from the three points line can make him a rotation player in the NBA.

[UZER]

He'll be shooting only layups and corner 3s in no time.

These playoffs aren't for him.

[Chinook]

Am I the only ones who's not happy about this news? Min contracts are only for a year or two. Wanted longer.

[cutewizard]

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Calm down wizard...

[MVPCues]

I'm all for giving him a shot, but I don't understand outright excitement for a 23 year old who has had two serious knew injuries to the same knee. No way would I like more than a 1 year deal.
