Suns waive Mickael Pietrus

[hpantazo]

If Pietrus is relatively healthy and we sign him, then we're all set for the season, he is everything that we need to complete our bench.

Just as long as he doesn't surrender to Dirk Nowitski in like three days and then act all proud later......HA!

Pietrus would be a nice pick up.  He can play either wing spot, which would give us a legit 10 man rotation without having to rely on one of the youngsters or Sasha.

Bench:

Dooling
Daniels
Pietrus
Bass
Wilcox

Bradley, Moore, Sasha, JJ, Stiemsa is not a bad way to round out the deep bench.  Hey, they beat the Toronto Raptors last night.

Amazing pick-up if it does come through.  Where were these 3-pointing shooting defensive specialists "heavily favoring" the C's in the 3 post-Posey seasons?

That's pretty much a surplus of swing guys if he signs on.  I'd cut Sasha and bring in another Center, which I still think we need.

If he is healthy this is a great signing! If I can have 1 thing for Christmas it's the health of this team for the entire season.

IF he is HEALTHY! I'd like him here but I wanna see what ET Moore can do first..

Maybe Ed Lacerte and Dr. McKeon will prevail where Shaolin Monks failed.

Pietrus traveled to the Shaolin Temple in central China's Henan Province, where he tried "several traditional Chinese medicine therapies, including acupuncture, massage and some unique remedies administered by Shaolin monks," the Chinese site What's In Xiamen reported.

People on this board probably would have crapped all over Jermaine O'Neal if it was reported he visited the same temple over the summer.

Well, it sounds like he might be up to a month away from playing, so even if he signed with Boston, you might get your wish.

Please come true; we don't need another tease this offseason. Let's get it done.

He essentially would do everything Posey did for us in '08 while simultaneously improving the 2 spot, as Marquis could play exclusively there.

Also great for u against Miami, as Pierce, Pietrus, Marquis, and Sasha would all be available to guard him. Having that flexibility would be huge.

we need more length

We need a SF to back up Pierce who can defend and hit threes, which is exactly what Pietrus is. He's also tough minded and knows his role on the bench.

Exactly. And beggars can't be choosers.

Who else can we get for the minimum that would do what Pietrus does for us?
