Davis Bertans wants to stay in DC

And according to Bertans’ longtime agent, Arturs Kalnitis, the appreciation is mutual. “Tommy [Sheppard] has done an incredible job of putting together this staff, team, and the players feel super cared about. It’s been an all-around great experience,” Kalnitis said in a phone interview last week. “After Davis’ first two weeks with the team, he called me and said, ‘This is great.’ “Davis is super confident in Washington and this situation really allows him to showcase his abilities. If he stays in D.C. next season they’ll have an even more interesting dynamic with John [Wall] healthy. Davis truly believes they can be a force in the East so I’m sure that will be a strong point for him,” Kalnitis added. “Winning is important.”
