Mickael Pietrus has reached agreement on a one-year, veteran-minimum contract with the Toronto Raptors, agent Bill McCandless confirmed to RealGM on Thursday night. The deal will be made official Friday, McCandless confirmed.

"It came down, in the end, to choosing the team who liked him best," said McCandless.

USA Today first reported Pietrus’ deal with the Raptors.

In the end, Pietrus passed up five offers – from the Atlanta Hawks, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs – due to the Raptors’ relentless pursuit. Recently, Pietrus rejected the Spurs’ offer of a contract guaranteeing just one month.

Pietrus’ camp has been in dialogue with the Raptors since the offseason, and Toronto general manager Bryan Colangelo has attempted to acquire the 6-foot-6 forward through trade in the past.

Dominic McGuire will be waived by the Raptors to make room on the roster, agent Mark Bartelstein told RealGM.

Pietrus, 30, has averaged 8.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in his nine-year NBA career with four different teams. Pietrus, who has been training in France for months, has established himself as a solid outside shooter and a top-tier wing defender when healthy.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed forward Kevin Jones from the D-League.

Following the Call-Up, Jones was assigned from Cleveland to Canton.

Jones (6-8, 251, West Virginia) returns to Cleveland having spent the 2012 NBA preseason and training camp with the team. In two preseason games for the Cavaliers, Jones averaged 2.5 rebounds and 9.0 minutes.

As a member of the Charge, Jones has appeared in three games, averaging 27.0 points, good for third-best in the NBA D-league to go with 13.7 rebounds and 41.3 minutes.

The Cavaliers have waived Luke Harangody.

Jannero Pargo is on the top of several NBA teams’ radars and hopes to sign a deal soon, his agent told RealGM on Thursday.

“We’ve been getting calls every day, so hopefully we’ll get something done here soon,” agent Mark Bartelstein said.

Pargo averaged three points and two assists in seven games for the Washington Wizards this season before being waived on Nov. 15.

Since then, he has received interest from a number of organizations, and he could be the next available point guard to sign with a team following Derek Fisher's agreement with the Dallas Mavericks.

Pargo, 33, has made his mark in the league over nine seasons with shooting and providing offensive spark, leaving him a career average of 6.4 points on 35 percent three-point shooting.

The Dallas Mavericks have waived Troy Murphy to sign Derek Fisher.

Murphy was signed shortly before the start of the season.

Murphy averaged 4.6 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18.3 minutes over 14 games.

Derek Fisher will sign with the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

Rick Carlisle announced the move following the Mavericks loss on Wednesday to the Bulls.

Fisher spent the end of the 12-13 season with the Thunder.

Derek Fisher is expected to sign an NBA contract within the next few days, according to sources.

Fisher is considering up to three teams.

Fisher finished the 11-12 NBA season with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Toronto Raptors are searching for depth at small forward with Landry Fields and Alan Anderson out for extended time.

Mickael Pietrus is now being strongly considered as an option for the Raptors.

The Raptors already have 15 players on guaranteed contracts.

The Los Angeles Lakers have expressed interest in Mickael Pietrus.

Pietrus, who played last season for the Celtics, remains a free agent.

Raja Bell is another wing the Lakers are interested in acquiring.

The Los Angeles Lakers are interested in acquiring Raja Bell, accordig to sources.

Bell remains under contract with the Utah Jazz, but hasn't been with the club all season.

The Jazz are expected to execute a buyout of Bell's contract once he finds a minimum deal with another club. Bell won't lose any money between the buyout and joining a new team.

The Chicago Bulls have also expressed interest in Bell.

The San Antonio Spurs have signed James Anderson.

Anderson was a first round pick by the Spurs in 2010, but became a free agent after the team declined their option on his third-year contract.

Anderson signed with the Hawks in September and was waived before the start of the season.
