If he stays healthy, I fully agree.  He's actually looked like a better SF option than Pierce

I love that pickup, but it seems last 2 years, our starting lineup struggles to be healthy

this year it seems our bench is struggling to be healthy

Dooling and Wilcox...sigh~

however Miami, Lakers, and Bull's strongest players are all injured


Our bench struggled to be healthy last year. Quis, Delonte, JO & Shaq...

We have had two years since the big 3 got together where we stayed healthy for most of the year. Guess which two years those were???

I wish we would draw up some actual plays for him, always catch myself yelling at my screen "...hit Pietrus for threeee!"

I feel like if he has just a bit of space it's going in love the pickup  ;D

He looks great.  By the end of season who is going to be the better guy off bench
Piertus or Bass??

2 years to late

Yep, he is the long awaited "Posey replacement" but I fear we got him too late. Boy, imagine if we had him in 2010... a couple of 3 pointers here and there and we probably would have won game 7.

Imagine we swapped Bass for Sheed, 3 point bricks for midrange swish.

 a guy like Pietrus is a perfect championship piece and its fair to guess he probably has 3 good years left.

 I do wonder if Danny really gets what he did with Posey. Its a star AND key roll player league. We blew up that championship team when we didn't get the right roll players to fill Posey's place. Pietrus is that guy as many are saying, 2 years or more too late. Can we rework this so fast that he can be a key on the next championship team? If we don't blow it up and Ray and KG are signed as inexpensive bench pieces and we get 2 big free agents with the cap space, he sure can be.
