Suns to trade Mickael Pietrus, waive Vince Carter

"The Suns have agreed to trade swingman Mickael Pietrus and cash to Toronto for a conditional second-round pick but the deal is pending a physical.

Pietrus underwent minor right knee surgery in July after the French national team declared him unable to play. Pietrus also missed the final 12 games of the Suns season because of a quadriceps-tendon strain near the same knee.

Pietrus is in Toronto today for the physical. He would be an ideal fit into the international look that Bryan Colangelo has pursued since leaving Phoenix to take over the Raptors' basketball operations.

The Suns also would have to send about $1 million to Toronto for the Raptors to take on Pietrus' $5.3 million salary in the last year of his contract. It is possible the Suns would never receive the Toronto pick because of the conditions placed on it."
