Part three of the series features Mikael Pietrus, a guy who fell out of Don Nelson's favor in Golden State.

Thoughts On The Player
Pietrus is a tricky player to judge. In the helter skelter Golden State offense he could be explosive off the bench, but he's kind of a tweener and not really a deadly outside shooter (36% from 3, which is better than anyone on the Sixers, but not exactly deadly).
He's athletic, long and fast, so obviously he'd fit in with the Sixers style of play, but would he really be an upgrade over Carney off the bench? I have my doubts.
Thoughts on Likelihood
He talked and played his way out of Golden State, and he's an unrestricted free agent, so he can be had. I'm not sure what kind of contract he's going to demand, but my gut tells me that it'll be for somewhere around $5M/year over 4 or 5. Too much for him, as far as I'm concerned.
Would he fit in with the Sixers? Would you like to see him coming off the bench to help stretch the floor a little bit and maybe add some length on the wing? Or would he just be more of the same, and not really fill a need?

not interested, not even for free
he would be the 4th SF on our roster (after Iggy, Carney, Thad), or, if you prefer, the third combo SG/SF (after Iggy and Carney)
doesn't fill any of the needings we have (perimeter shooting - low post threats), adding only skills we already have in abundance (athleticism, quickness, ability of playing two different spots, like LW, Iggy, Carney, Thad etc)
Also he's a VERY poor FT shooter, I'd say horrible for a perimeter player, and would make our pile of bricks from the line rise even more
guys, please say NO to Mickael Pietrus (LOL)
