Pietrus to accept min (Update: Pietrus has signed with the Celts)

[pearljammer10]

Barring a waiver claim, Pietrus it seems will accept the minimum contract offer from the Celtics and back up Paul Pierce, helping the Celtics recover from the loss of Jeff Green for the season. “I think Mike likes the Celtics very much and likes that option very much,’’ said Pietrus’s agent, Bill McCandless. “I guess we’ll open up the present tomorrow at 6:30. There’s one team that was interested in trading for him and it did come down to the wire. I think there’s a 15 percent chance of a waiver claim.’’ Boston Globe

A. Sherrod Blakely: The bigger issue for Pietrus and the #Celtics, is timing. I'm hearing they'd rather have him xmas, but Tues. vs. #Heat more likely. Twitter

I hope this one is true and not a false alarm like the West deal.

4 hours and 40 minutes before he clears the waivers...hopefully nobody will try and steal him in the meantime.

Wow, that is an incredibly fortunate get. Love to have Pietrus here. Fantastic news.

That is not correct. It's 4 hours and 29 minutes.

[misha]

Really hope so, we really need a guy like him on board. Though I don't won't to be too excited prematurely, like with the West deal.

No one, we currently only have 14 players.

Then call Eddie.  He can't do worse than Bradley.

I wouldn't cut any current players for eddie house.

Yeah, there's nobody worth cutting on our roster for Eddie.  Only thing I could see us doing is cutting Dooling to make room to sign Nate (expecting to be bought out).  I could be on board with that; I'm a big Nate fan.

Theres no way. Nate cant play point guard. Why would we cut Dooling after just signing him especially for Nate? Makes no sense. Dooling is a great commander on the floor. The C's have not had this decent of a true back up point guard in many many season.
