Report: Pelicans agree to terms with Dairis Bertans
The New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to terms with EuroLeague guard Dairis Bertans, sources told ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Adrian Wojnarowski.
The deal will reportedly include a 2019-20 team option.
The 6-foot-4 Latvian is currently signed with Italian club Olimpia Milano but owns an NBA opt-out clause that will allow him to leave Europe and join the Pelicans.
Bertans is leading the EuroLeague in 3-point percentage, shooting 53.6 percent on 3.3 attempts per game.
The Pelicans reportedly waived guard Tim Frazier to make room for the acquisition.
The 29-year-old Dairis is the older brother of San Antonio Spurs forward Davis Bertans.
The Pelicans rank 26th in the Association in 3-point percentage, connecting on just 34.2 percent of their 29 attempts per game.
