Wizards' Davis Bertans decides to sit out NBA reboot in Orlando ahead of free agency

The Celtics were one of many teams rumored to be trying to take for Davis Bertans back at this season's deadline. Danny Ainge decided the price of two first round picks of what could have just been a rental was too steep. Many people will say today that the Celtics dodged a bullet (no pun intended) here, but keep in mind Bertans' Wizards are an extreme long shot to make the playoffs. They are 5.5 games back of the 8th seed with only 8 games to play. They'd likely have to win all 8 games and still have a good deal of luck to sneak in.
