Mickael Pietrus hasn’t heard from Boston Celtics, now moving on, says agent
Obviously, there’s no room in Boston for Mickael Pietrus. The Celtics, according to Pietrus’ agent, have cut off contact with their former backup wing. (Boston Herald)
“We haven’t heard from (the Celtics), so we’ll move on,” Pietrus’ agent Bill McKandless said. “I’m not surprised. If we hear from them, Mike will be thrilled, and if not then I guess that’s life in the big city.”
For a player as good as Pietrus, it may be difficult to find much daylight here.
“Mike is fine,” McKandless said. “He’s had a great career. He’s 30, so he’s in his prime. It’s not as if he’s 36.”
With Courtney Lee, Jason Terry and Jeff Green all set to come off the bench whenever Avery Bradley returns to health, Pietrus would have had zero chance to earn any playing time. Even if the Celtics wanted him back, why on earth would Pietrus want to join a team where he might receive 40 or 45 DNP-CDs? There are still teams Pietrus can help as a defender and streak shooter. The Celtics just aren’t one of them.

Pietrus’ agent surely took a shot at us with the “36 year old” comment.

same comment I posted on Jeff Green’s post.
if the latter is a 4, who’s going to back up Pierce?
Pietrus is going to be sadly missed.

He AINT Kevin Garnett either. MP shoulda shut James down in Game 6 when he torched the Celts for 45 and he might still be here. All the best MP, so much for the championship dreams…

Pietrus is a bum anyways. he’s an overated defender who thinks he’s better than he really is. His handle is terrible for a guard and he’s not that great a shooter either.

Considering he was injured (concussion) and then had knee surgery after the season (that we did not know about but mgmt. likely did) he played pretty well. I’d rather have MP than Collins everyday of the week. Go Cs…
