But Nelson was bound to see the potential that Pietrus has and must be itching to tap that potential! He must have seen Pietrus the last three years and thought that he needs to be pointed in the right direction now to start to bear fruits in a year or so. Nelson might turn out to be the reason why Pietrus becomes a star, if he ever does

Top north of the country (Oviedo, if you want to look where it is)... but we have the same time zone in the whole country (except the Canary islands). Which is funny, 'cos the location is the same as Portugal and we have one hour of difference. :dontknow:

But Portugal is 8 hours behind me here in Perth. It is 7 hours behind in their summer time

But will change again in a month or so, and that would make up for the hour of difference.

Trade him to the Eastern Conference when his value is at it's peak.

There's no reason to hang onto Pietrus too tightly. Out of a Nelly/D'Antoni system, he's helpless. I say, let Nelly make him look real good... than dump his ass for a better SF.

If Pietrus does well with Nelson, there is no reason to trade him! You go with what works and so if he does well, the team will do better

Don Nelson might get Pietrus to average over 15 PPG. If that happens and someone offers us... say, Shawn Marion or someone of the like, I'd go for it. Hell, I'd probably take Tayshaun Prince.

And you think someone would be so crazy as to offer a Shawn Marion caliber player for Pietrus?

But I'd pull the trigger if I ever saw it. If Nelly makes Pietrus look as good as he made Josh Howard look (Josh Howard is Dallas' more talented version of Mickael Pietrus), than I think we should trade him. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD

Sure, it's a nice dream... but dreams rarely become reality. But if we get an offer of Shawn Marion, Rashard Lewis or someone like those, MP is as good as gone...

Pietrus, Wagner stand out
