Good luck to MP - he was so excited about coming back to Boston this season, and it I actually felt bad that we didn't re-sign him. All he was talking about preseason was how excited he was to return and play with KG again. We could really use a bit of that 'Celtic' enthusiasm from our current group of guys TBH...
As much as there was talk of him not wanting to sign for the minimum, at the same time I didn't hear any talk of Danny making him an offer.
I think management saw an opportunity to get bigger name players like Green, Terry, Lee and as a result they pretty much ignored Pietrus completely. I understand that the new guys are more talented (and Pietrus is a little injury prone) and I'm sure that was the reason, but we could really use his toughness and his defensive effort this year.
I'd trade for him in a heartbeat if I were Danny! Of all last years players, I think we are missing him the most.
