Mickael Pietrus is our most talented and relatively expendable asset.  If we hope to add some depth to our squad, we should look to move him before the Februrary 21st trading deadline.  I'm a firm believer that we shouldn't trade him to one of our competitors in the West (the Suns could really use him right now) because we shouldn't aid them at all in filling out their depth chart.  That being said, here's a quick breakdown of teams that could use an athletic, young, defensive swing man such as Pietrus:

Boston Celtics: I'm not a big James Posey fan, never have been.  I think Mickael Pietrus would be a nice upgrade at the backup small forward spot for them.  Pietrus could bring some much needed athleticism and defense which Posey lacks.  Plus Pietrus can do all of the things that Posey does on offense (and then some) on younger, healthier knees.  The Pietrus that we used to see here in Golden State (before this year) was an exciting slasher and praised defender, and a motivated Pietrus could return to that form in a change of scenery.  However, there aren't many players on that team which the Warriors could use.  Possibly Leon Powe or Tony Allen if they were stupid enough to trade them away.

Charlotte Bobcats: JRich and G.Wallace are their bonafide starting swingmen, but after that it gets a little hazy on the depth chart.  They seem to be shopping Matt Carroll around, which I think is a mistake.  Adam Morrison is a bust and he's injured.  Jared Dudley is still an unproven rook.  If they're shopping Matt Carroll, then maybe they're looking for more athleticism and defense off the bench.  Pietrus could be a fit here.  Who could we use from this team?  Matt Carroll could be for us what we all hope Belinelli turns into eventually, but his contract is scary at $6mil/6yrs.  I'd be willing to roll the dice on  Ryan Hollins ($800k/1yr), the 7 foot skinny center out of UCLA.  He's kind of like their version of Patrick O'Bryant, in that he doesn't get much playing time.  Maybe we can try him out over here and Nellie might just happen to see something he likes in him, and we could have a legit backup center.  Low risk, high reward.

Cleveland Cavaliers:  It's no secret that the Cavaliers could use Mickael Pietrus.  Hughes, Jones, Jones, Pavlovic, Newble, Brown.. all these guys are pretty sorry at this point.  Off their squad I'd like Daniel Gibson (no way they'd trade away Lebron's "little brother") or Drew Gooden ($7mil/2yrs).  Gooden is still a young dude, and he could be that big-body-post-defending, solid-rebounding, has-a-midrange-J guy on our team; plus he's an Oakland native.  His contract isn't so bad considering it'll be worth gold when it becomes an expiring contract next season.

Detroit Pistons: Aaron Afflalo, Jarvis Hayes, and Flip Murray are such crappy wingman depth for such a good veteran team; Pietrus could help out big time.  If they were dumb enough, I'd take Amir Johnson or Jason Maxiell off their hands in a second; but I don't see that happening.

Memphis Grizzlies: It seems like they want all the expiring contracts they can get at this point.  If they're willing to move either Kyle Lowry or Mike Miller to us for our expiring contracts then I'm all for it.

Anywhere else I'm missing?  I sure hope Pietrus gets traded.  He's already shown in his oncourt production and in his rantings to the media that he doesn't want to be here, so the Warriors shouldn't let him be a detriment to the team as the Warriors get ready for the playoff push.
