    Raptors acquire Mickael Pietrus for a second rounder.

    Great trade. Can start or come of the bench plus an expiring contract.

    meh, this would have been a good trade for a good team. For the raps though, and the terrible season they're going to have, I feel they're just going to be loaning this guy for one season. If the 2nd rounder this this years it might turn out to be worth something seeing as how i keep hearing this year's draft is going to be deep.

    I'm pretty sure the second rounder is heavily protected. All reports say "conditional second rounder"

    Interesting. We needed a small forward with Kleiza still out with injury and Sonny Weems stuck overseas. Pietrus is a decent defender.

    I like this for the Raptors. Pietrus on the floor means good things happen. They don't always show up in the box score.

    Clarence Weems sucks. He can't play defense, a poor man DeMar.

    Kleiza can kick rocks as well, I hope he's gone soon.

    Pietrus though, I think; is a great signing. He can play D, he's quick, takes good shots, can run the floor...I don't see much down side. He'll take charges, he'll do those little things (As DC pointed out) so good deal BC.

    Sadly, this could be one of BC's best deals to date LOL.
