Mickael Pietrus 'Happy' to Be With Suns

Filed under: ,


LOS ANGELES -- Sure, Mickael Pietrus says he liked being traded to Phoenix. That's easy to say after scoring 25 points in just his second Suns game, right?

But the forward said that before Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Clippers at the Staples Center. Even though Pietrus went from an upper-seed kind of playoff team in Orlando to one that might struggle just to make the postseason, he believed it was a good move.

"I'm very happy,'' Pietrus said. "I'm in a good situation with great teammates, a great coach (Alvin Gentry), and I really enjoy it.''

Pietrus had cause then to enjoy the trade even more after shooting 9-of-14, including 5-of-8 from 3-point range, against the Clippers. It was his biggest scoring game since putting up 27 on Jan. 27, 2009 against Indiana.

"Not when you have guys like Steve Nash and Grant Hill, they make things easier for you,'' Pietrus said afterward on whether he was surprised to have a big game so soon after being acquired Dec. 18. "I used to play for Don Nelson (with Golden State) so I basically know the system.''
