Rumor: Pietrus to Orlando

WANT FOYLE!

...Keyon Dooling?

would be a solid backup PG.  he's not a 3-point chucker, but he can hit the shot with decent consistency.  He takes care of the ball, limits his turnovers, gets a solid number of assists.  He's decently sized (6'2" 200lb) to play point.

getting paid $4mil on an expiring contract.  
A trade of Pietrus + Hudson's contract for Arroyo could work in theory.  If we can get productive minutes out of Brandan Wright, losing Pietrus' minutes shouldn't affect us much.

to get rid of Arroyo, due to his attitude, so it might just work out if we throw in a little something along with Pietrus and Hudson's contract.

Arroyo would be the answer to alot of problems. He's been pretty solid as the starting PG of late.

Arroyo isn't a great outside shooter, but he's gonna get into the paint and run your offense, distribute the ball. While we usually don't rely on a PG controlling the game when Baron sits (instead relying on high post and isolation), ....that's lead to alot of stagnant possessions.

A competent PG will get the ball where it needs to go, and direct traffic. You saw last night how Chandler, without any moves of his own, dropped 20 just by being given the ball in the proper spot. Biedrins got 20 the same way. A good point guard will do that.

Our offense will be a million times more efficient if we were dedicated to moving the ball inside to Biedrins, Harrington, and Wright, instead of Jackson hoisting bricks.

and throw in arroyo, but i guess if foyle is going to be putting up solid minutes like the last 2 games, then i dont think we can swing that deal

arroyo would be a solid pickup though, a point who like to attack the rim and distribute more than putting up jumpers, just what we need when baron is on the bench. Id imagine he can run the break with the best of them, not sure about his defense though, never really watched his D

...in theory, but hasn't he flamed out his last couple stops? I think he was in Detroit, Utah...

so many teams are interested in Pietrus. If I were to never watch a game and just get my Warriors info from GSOM I would think that he's the worst player on the team and no one would have interest.

I've read on ESPN.com that somewhere around a dozen teams have shown interest. Perhaps these teams read GSOM and think they can get Pietrus for a bag of peanuts...

I'll take him if that means being able to rest Baron more and still be able to win games, and keeping Baron healthy enough to play at least 70-75 games. If Arroyo can run the team good enough to maintain leads and not make things worse, then Baron will be able to rest enough to be more dominant in crunch time situations. But do this only if we can't trade Pietrus for some type of helpful bigman.
