Pietrus isn't complaining despite contract problems

Quote:

The late-arriving Pietrus played it nice Thursday after his first practice back with Golden State. Pietrus, who re-signed Monday for the qualifying offer of $3.47 million, insisted there were no hard feelings despite returning to a team he didn't want to play for again and at a much lower rate than he expected. "I'm not mad at anybody," Pietrus said. "I still love Chris Mullin. I still love coach Nellie. I respect their choice. It's a business, so it's time for me to free my mind and play basketball." Neither he nor Nelson anticipated any problems getting the fifth-year swingman up to speed. Pietrus started 38 games last season and averaged a career-high 11.1 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

Lets hope he improves his fundementals in his 5th season in the nba...

I'm also hoping he takes more 17-19 foot jumpers rather then chucking too many three's..

Good luck to Pietrus.. I hope he has a great season.

Yeah, no kidding. Surprisingly, in his 4th year in the league, there were games where he looked outright lost on the offensive side of the floor. I certainly hope he improves his offense - still a lot of room for improvement, but I also believe the potential is there.

I was hoping that Pietrus would get traded for someone this summer. His inconsistancy is really not worth the potential anymore.

bruindre

I agree with that, but for the price we got him at, his new deal is a good value for this team - especially considering he's familiar with the system and most players.

PFortyy

Yeah, true that.

Warriors really need chemestry because of the system they play in. Pietrus is a funny guy, easy to get along with and CAN really shoot lights out some nights.

How much $$$ did we sign Pietrus for?
