OFFICIAL: Raptors Sign Pietrus; Waive McGuire

[ceez]

Sigh

[NoPropsneeded]

We signed him?

[Blacklash2k4]

We signed him?

Not yet but we're strongly considering him....

[NoPropsneeded]

eh we don't have space for him. Unless of course we Amnesty Bargnani

[Red and White]

Sign Pietrus and waive McGuire is what they would do right?

[Red and White]

I would be fine with him.

[tucas]

Ya he's washed up but I'd still take him over McGuire and maybe Kleiza depending on how he does.

Here is the source:

Landry Fields & Alan Anderson both out up to month so Raps have renewed interest in SF market (headed by Pietrus) even w/15 guaranteed deals

so why not just give minutes to T-Bolt? lol T. Ross that is!

[DoNDaDDa]

i say waive DM & sign Pietrus...IF hes healthy that is!

[Raptor_11]

Yeah he would be an upgrade over Mcguire so it's not that bad

[Jkwasia]

Yes he plays decent defence and can shoot Mcquire and Kleiza in one

The dam is bursting and Colangelo goes for the roll of electrical tape........

Thats BC for you. Can't wait till Ed Stafanski takes over

[Rapstor4Life]

To be Honest I don't see the problem signing Pietrus, veteran plays defense can shoot the 3. Its far better than Dom and Anderson Pietrus also has some post season experience. Good pick up to help the struggling team.

[ReubenJRD]

I would really like to see this happen. Good outside shooter, plays very solid defense, and is a veteran. Also, was known as a good locker room guy from playing in Boston.

Waiving DM would seriously be an option, McGuire just doesn't have the skill-set to be a consistent minute logger. Pietrus is for sure an upgrade over Anderson and DM.

[Raptorfanatic]

Pietrus is far better than anyone we currently have at the 3. Watched him play in Boston after Toronto squashed deal with Phoenix over injury concerns. He played very ..good defensively and shoots the the 3. Sign him if you can!!!

[Nilanka]

The dam is bursting and Colangelo goes for the roll of electrical tape........

Exactly. A Pietrus signing would solve absolutely nothing.

[KaioKev]

I don't see why not. He's not that great I know. He won't add much either but he'll shake up the personalities in the locker room. Besides What has Kleiza and McGuire provided for us? Do we really think Pietrus will be that much worse?

You're right. There's no harm in adding Pietrus.

I'm just annoyed that such a minor move is what Colangelo is pondering, instead of doing what's actually needed.
