08:10 AM ET 11.09 | Free agent Mickael Pietrus appears to have options. With Danny Granger out of the Indiana Pacers' lineup, [Pietrus] is an option for the organization but is far from officially signing a contract and remains in discussions with a few other teams, agent Bill McCandless told RealGM on Thursday. While McCandless admits he has been in contact with general managers across the NBA, he insisted by phone: "A report goes out and everybody thinks Mickael is on a plane headed for Indiana. Everybody needs to hold their horses." Over the past week, Pietrus' camp has seen a spike in interest for the veteran swingman, who has career averages of 8.4 points and 3.1 rebounds and is well regarded as among the stellar perimeter defenders in the league.

I like Pietrus fortitude in not accepting those bush league offers a few months back and I said as much then. Just as I said, Hold out, you'll get your money and look whats happening now.

Really??? Mickael Pietrus?

When did he become the answer to anybody's questions?

The only chance he has of winning a Ring is going the Adam Morrison route

Lakers could use him they really don't have a shooter off the bench Pietrus can stretch the floor.

If I had to guess who should be calling in no order due to a need.

1. Lakers
2. GSW
3. Portland has no bench spark
4. Indy
