Pierce expects to be traded or released

[buzzy]

 
Because only about a third of Paul Pierce’s $15.3 million deal is guaranteed for 2013-14, rumors abound that team personnel boss Danny Ainge may want to cut ties with the star to save money, or deal him elsewhere to prop up an aging roster. Which is why Pierce, according to Dickerson, thinks his days in Boston are numbered. 
 

 

"I don't think they will (bring Pierce back)," Dickerson said Sunday on CSNNE. "And I know that the company that Paul Pierce hangs around in, they do not believe – and I don't think Paul Pierce believes – that he is going to be brought back next year at $15 million.
 
"I know for a fact that people around Paul Pierce have pretty much resigned themselves to the fact that he's played his final game in a Boston Celtics uniform. Again, Paul wants to stay – obviously for $15 million, but he wants to finish his career in a Celtics uniform."
[…]
"If Paul's gone, I think without a doubt Kevin Garnett is gone – either by retirement or he finally decides to waive his no-trade clause, and the Celtics maybe work something out with a (Los Angeles Clippers) team," said Dickerson. "But the list is real short; the teams that Kevin Garnett would go to, there might be two of them on it, and they both might be the Clippers and (Los Angeles) Lakers."

Makes sense, but you just can't really see it happening. Gonna be interesting how hard headed they're gonna be.

it would be odd to see him in anything but green, but its needed.

Yeah it would definitely be weird to see him out of green, but the man needs to go. I'm not too sure where or for who, but it has to happen eventually.

Pierce should just retire. 

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He can still add value to a team. I'm really interested in where he goes.

No team is going to trade for him, so he will take a big paycut.
