Free Agent: Mickael Pietrus

[ChumpDumper]

Someone is asking the same question I am.

Someone needs to explain to me why all the fuss over Mickael Pietrus and why anyone in the world thinks the Raptors should give him a contract that starts at the mid-level salary exception of about $5.8 million per year?

This is Mickeal Pietrus, right? Dude made about $2.5 million last year and is going to more than double his salary?

Dude who played 27 minutes a game on a team that barely snuck into the playoffs last year?

Dude who's a 66 per cent free throw shooter in his career and a 35 per cent shooter from three-point range? They're supposed to pay this guy more than twice as much as he made last year?

I don't know.

I know I talked to one guy in the organization on the weekend who vowed the team would not overpay just to get a free agent and that leads me to believe that someone with a brain in their head will realize that $5.8 million a year to start for Mickael Pietrus is overpaying like crazy.

I've got a feeling the best thing Pietrus has going for him right now is an agent with good connections.

He uses the word "dude" so much I thought I wrote it.

White looks good, i would like to see him play some more next year. Maybe give him some playing time. Pietrus is a ?? mark. He made good plays in the playoffs but he made some bonehead plays too. He is raw but with the right coaching.....maybe
