The guy just had surgery and has been saying all along that he wants to come back. He's a very streaky shooter but a tough defender. Do we have room for him next season?

He was hurt for parts of the year, I would keep him he seems to also be a good locker room guy like Dooling.

I'd like Pietrus back--he's an above-average defender, and hopefully he'll fully recover from the concussion and thus be able to relocate his shot. He's also a great locker room guy, as is Dooling, who also seems to be a great mentor (and stabilizer) for Rondo, not to mention he played some pretty good defense in the playoffs. I'd like him back too.

If he signs for the vet min, and there's room. Then si senor. Bring him back.

Guy's hilarious, not to mention a fan of the organization, itself. Potentially great defender, and once his knee is healed, then hopefully his shot will come back, because 90% of the time he was a dud offensively. Marqueezy Daniels showed him up a couple times in the playoffs.

I love Marqueezy Daniels, but for who Pietrus can be as a player, that's kinda sad  :-\. And not even in a pathetic way, in more of a disheartening way.
My pic is now, and will be Fab Melo until he posts his first official NBA dbl-dbl. This may be permanent.

If we can get him back on the vet min next year, then absolutely I'd love to have this guy back.  He commits a few silly fouls, sure, but his one on one defense is very good.

I noticed during the playoffs that he was fading away slightly when he was shooting his 3's. The two HUGE 3's he hit in game 5 in Miami, he was wide open, had his feet set, and shot it like he normally does.  I think he can easily remedy this and find his shot once again come next year.  He's as dangerous as anybody from the corners when he's in rhythm.

Hope so. Dude's got the Celtic mentality. Hard to come by nowdays.
