Raps in 4, tbh
Raptors Reach Agreement With Mickael Pietrus, McGuire To Be Waived
Mickael Pietrus has reached agreement on a one-year, veteran-minimum contract with the Toronto Raptors, agent Bill McCandless confirmed to RealGM on Thursday night. The deal will be made official Friday, McCandless confirmed.
"It came down, in the end, to choosing the team who liked him best," said McCandless.
USA Today first reported Pietrus’ deal with the Raptors.
In the end, Pietrus passed up five offers – from the Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs – due to the Raptors’ relentless pursuit. Recently, Pietrus rejected the Spurs’ offer of a contract guaranteeing just one month.
Pietrus’ camp has been in dialogue with the Raptors since the offseason, and Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo has attempted to acquire the 6-foot-6 forward through trade in the past.
Dominic McGuire will be waived by the Raptors to make room on the roster, agent Mark Bartelstein told RealGM.
Pietrus, 30, has averaged 8.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in his nine-year NBA career with four different teams. Pietrus, who has been training in France for months, has established himself as a solid outside shooter and a top-tier wing defender when healthy.

Raps in 4, tbh
is a hardcore defensive swinger n he shoots 3 good. spurs got tackled by themselves that they only offered him a one month contract, instead of a vet min that he more than deserves.
spurs dont need him when that last spot available should be addressing the teams needs....
unless spurs pull some sort of trade to get rid of a few spots on the roster...
The Raps will still suck and they will keep sucking as long as Lolangelo is managing the franchise
Didn't Pietrus say he could get Phoenix to the Finals because after playing in Orlando, he learned what it took to get there?
Dudes really overrated tbh showed up in a couple of big games but he thinks he is better than he is.
I can guarantee nobody in this city is pretending this means anything lol
The Raptors have blown some many 4th quarter leads last season and this season
What a bunch of chokers
