San Antonio: Pietrus et Parker ensemble au Texas?
10/04/2007 - 15:29
Mickaël Pietrus va-t-il rejoindre Tony Parker à San Antonio à la fin de la saison? C'est en tout cas une éventualité dans la mesure où son club actuel, les Golden State Warriors, ne semble pas en mesure de réajuster le salaire du Français à la hausse à cause du salary cap. A la recherche d'un ailier puissant, les Spurs se seraient de leur côté déjà positionnés vis-à-vis du joueur, en fin de contrat avec l'équipe californienne. Par ailleurs, en matière d'arrivée française, le jeune pivot de Pau Orthez Ian Mahinmi, 19 ans et déjà drafté par les Spurs, pourrait lui aussi rejoindre Parker à l'été prochain.

Spanish? What does that have to do with anything?Dammit, you know I dont speak Spanish!
fred, Bruno or someone else French, can you translate it please?
Nothing, it was a joke pendejo
I believe they are talking about Mickael Pietrus' guest appearance on Tony's rap album.
san antonio has taken info on pietrus because they are actively in search on a swingman
Pendejo? You know I don't speak Czech.
le jeune pivot de Pau Orthez Ian Mahinmi, 19 ans et déjà drafté par les Spurs
what about the mahinmi part?
I'm translating it.
Pietrus rumors have been floating around for about 2 seasons, if I remember.
Warriors could let MP goes because of cap.
Spurs looking for (s)wingman.
IM is also another French possibility for Spurs.

Nothing definitive here, just French speculation about more French on the Spurs.
I like Pietrus, but he is a resrticted FA & I would think that GS would match an MLE offer. I don't know if GS would be interested in a S&T & I dont know if SA would be willing to give Pietrus more than the MLE, but I could see Pop & Nellie helping each other out when it comes to trades. Maybe GS is a possibility for Scola. Is Barry + Scola to much to give up for Pietrus? Barry & Beno and a pick?
With Baron Davis always hurt do you think they might have a slight interest in Beno?
Exactly!
Pietrus and Parker playing together in Texas ?
Will Mickael Pietrus rejon Parker at San Antonio this summer ?
It's a possibility given than his actual team, GS, seems not to be ready to give him a new contract.
Seeking an athletic swingman, Spurs would have still contact Pietrus.
Mahinmi, the 19 years old center drafted by Spurs, could too rejoin parker this summer.
I like Pietrus but two things IMO stand in his way.
1, the money the Spurs could offer.
2 the guy can't shoot a jump shot to save his life.
I take it back there are three.
Dudes never healthy.
Would I want him on the team? Darn right, good defender, rebounds decently, and if England could work his magic on him like Parker, then you've got your Bowen replacement.

My Cal!
Pre-SJax trade, I would've said you're right about Pietrus garnering MLE-type money, but he has been largely removed from the rotation after Jackson and Harrington came over and is splitting 15 minutes a game with Barnes.
I'm sure the Warriors like his ability, but with SJax on a multi-year deal and Jason Richardson locked up long term, I don't know if he has a future in Golden State. S&T is probably their best option, so they don't give him up for nothing....but if he gets a multi-year offer for somewhere around the MLE, it will be tough for the Warriors to match.
when did 37 percent shooting become good?3P% : .374
too bad you could't swing Beno for him.
Pietrus is a fluid athlete and a good defender, but he's picked up some bad habits in Golden State. They pay no attention to defensive principles and the guys he's emulating, Richardson and Davis, are shot-happy guards that don't slash to the basket enough. For Pietrus' development, it's probably best if he gets out of town....though I'm not sure how he ends up here.
It should also be noted that he plays the same positions as James White, who is the much cheaper option.
I'm not a big fan of Pietrus. He hasn't a lot of BB skills and is quite dumb. He is too often injured.
However, he could be a good fit in SA as a role player where he wouldn't have to create something for his teammates. He is a good defender and isn't a bad finisher on the offensive end.
I'd take him for $3.5m/per, which is his qualifying offer for next year (hoopshype), but he's plateaued as a player somewhat and I'm not sure he's a full-time starter. He's also shorter than what the Spurs need at the SF and is already 25.
I was much more into him last summer but now think there are better prospects to go after, especially in this draft. And he is definitely not worth giving up Scola.
