From the Media:
"Don't look now but it's decision time on Pietrus. He's in the same situation contractually that resulted in Jason Richardson, Troy Murphy and Dunleavy getting huge extensions the past two off-seasons. The Warriors, who almost assuredly can't afford to tie up Pietrus long-term without selling off a big contract, probably will allow their fourth-year player to become a free agent next April. It's scary imagining him running up and down the court with the Suns."
