<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">Heat And Warriors To Work On Pietrus Deal?</span><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Happy Walters, the agent for Golden State restricted free agent Mickael Pietrus, said the Heat's Randy Pfund told him he plans to contact the Warriors about a potential sign-and-trade for the 6-6 25-year-old small forward.</div>-RealGM
I dont know much about Pietrus but if the rumors of Posey leaving are true, we could ude another guy for some depth at the SG/SF positions. all our players are getting old so this could be an insurance policy in case Jones retires this year or the next.

One night he'll go out and be our leading scorer (he can shoot from all ranges, and is an average driver) and the next night he'll shoot a terrible percentage with a lot of turnovers. You just have to take the good with the bad. The Warriors primarily use him when our starters need rest in the same way that we use Barnes. He's good for our system because he can run, and he's also good at spreading the floor (He has decent 3pt range) He's basically an average player who has his moments...However, off the court he's probably the nicest guy on our team and comes off as a very funny guy. Overall he's probably a B-, C+ player.
Mikky is stupid, and makes dumb choices. If he got his brain removed with Mike Dunleavy he would be a great player, but he can't so I will be very happy when he is off our team. The Heat can have him. I don't really want to see him in a Warriors jersey next year.

Im not expecting him to be a star but I think our coaching staff can help with his bad decision making. We need some younger guys off the bench who can keep up with the quicker guys in the league anyway so he would be a nice fit as our older players just cant do that anymore.I think if we can get some quicker guys on the team we will be fine. Chicago ran all over us in th play-offs. They out-hustled us every posession and thats why we got swept.

I agree he doesn't make the best of choice, especially on fastbreaks, but he was a decent player coming off the bench. He's just an average off-the-bench player, but a lot of Warriors fans like him. (I lost a lot of faith in him after the free throw incident)
But you heat fans do agree that you need a third solid player with Shaq and D-Wade? I think thats what your GM is trying to do here, but I don't think Pietrus is the right option when the market is so wide open. You ugys need a Derek Fisher to your Shaq and D-Wade

We are currently also trying to sign Mo Williams who would be more of that third scorer that we need. We also have Eddie Jones that is still a good player and a great shooter and hopefully Walker can bounce back this year after a terrible season. If we can sign Williams I think our scoring will be a lot better than last year.

I gues we can just keep our fingers crossed and hope he signs with us.
