This is all dependent on Pietrus passing a physical. His knee is the main issue. He had surgery in late June or July I believe. I hope it is good to go.

16th pick. JJ was 16th in 2009 and he was traded to Toronto for the 28th pick last yearLast edited by albertan_10; Fri Dec 9, 2011, 06:58 PM.

Pietrus celebrations might have been a bit premature
First, the news.
You might want to hold off on putting those Mickeal Pietrus Raptors jerseys under the Christmas tree.
Every indication I got last night was, after seeing Pietrus and seeing what else was out there, the Raptors might be pulling back a bit and “going in a different direction.”
Not sure why, entirely. Maybe the chance to get a younger Gary Forbes (the details are somewhere in here) came out of the blue; maybe it’s Pietrus’s knee, maybe it’s the money in deal but it’s looking less likely today than it was yesterday.
Like we always say with this team: Nothing’s ever done until it’s done.
Oh, and here’s a name – and this is entirely as an end-of-the-roster guy and, again, contingent on health – that you might want to look up: Rasual Butler. Old guy, likely close to done but affordable a guy who’ll fill a uniform.
Whatever happens, it should happen soon; word overnight was a third PG, a big and a wing no later than Sunday.

I'm a bit surprised of the reactions here. I think this guy is made of paper mache and this makes it a good signing? I may be alone on this but his health is super iffy.“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther King

No deal
It appears the Toronto Raptors will not be acquiring Phoenix Suns guard Mickael Pietrus, after all.The Raptors are reportedly expected to sign veteran shooting guard Rasual Butler. The 32-year-old spent last season with the Chicago Bulls, averaging 4.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in 47 games.Butler is expected to serve as the backup to young starter DeMar DeRozan at the 2-gard position.Toronto appeared to have a deal in place to acquire Pietrus from the Suns, but it fell through sometime Friday.

Take with a grain of salt but HoopsWorld.com saying deal fell apart sometime Friday.
