As doors open for training camps all around the
National
Basketball Association, the Phoenix Suns remained busy on
Friday, agreeing to trade swingman Mickael Pietrus and
cash
to the
Toronto
Raptors for a conditional second round pick. The deal is
contingent on Pietrus passing a physical in Toronto.
Pietrus was acquired by the Suns from Orlando in the trade
that also brought Marcin Gortat and Vince Carter to the
Valley last December. He appeared in 38 games for the
Suns,
starting four, and averaged 7.4 points and 2.0 rebounds
per
game in a Phoenix uniform.
This deal comes one day after the Suns came to separate
agreements with free agent guards Sebastian Telfair and
Shannon Brown.
Phoenix opens their regular season Monday, December 26th
at
home against the New Orleans Hornets.
