If we're really interested in Paula, I hope it's just to facilitate another deal.....

Paul Pierce Safari? :chuckles:

But really, if this does happen (I have my doubts) I definitely believe it will just be a deal we make before a bigger one.

Quote from the comment section in that article above:

Ainge only accepts this offer if he’s being pressured by owners to trade Paul before the deadline because this is a terrible personnel trade and Ainge is competent enough to realize it. Pierce for anything less than their #1 or Waiters or Thompson or Varejao is a loss. If Cleveland refuses to part with either, you move on

And we think we're the only ones who overvalue players. I mean, is this person serious?

 

[gratefuldead]

lol paul pierce isnt worth waiters, thompson or andy

certainly not the #1

 

[Stark]

They think we should give up our number one pick, Waiters, or TT for Pierce? That guy should be fired on the spot for even saying that.

I'm not sure I'd give up Tyler Zeller for a one year rental of an aging Pierce.

Celtics fans are slowly coming to grips with what it feels like to rebuild after a long, sustained run at the top. This rumor was started on Bill Simmons podcast. Simmons is connected, but he is primarily a Celtics fan. The reality of Boston basketball is that they are about 4 million over the luxury tax right now, not including the draft picks to come. Paul Pierce is going to make about 15 million if he is on the roster after June 30th, but they will probably cut him and pay the guaranteed 5 million. Pierce leads the Celtics in many career categories, so while that would be the financially responsible thing to do they don't want to do it.

So, Celtics fans are praying that they can trade Fall Fierce for some kind of asset, but more importantly, to save face. Cleveland knows that a rebuild is long and sometimes painful. Boston hasn't figured that out yet.

but what about alex 'literally the 7 1 paul pierce' len

This is coming from a report The Bullshit Whisperer made on a separate report that he admits he cannot confirm at all. Which means this is likely a complete fabrication. No reason to get worked up.

 

[Stark]

I could dig it. For both second rounders and nothing more.

EDIT: Wait, 34 is retired. Screw off Pierce.

I have no words for The Bullshit Whisperer right now. He continues to report rumors without any confirmation to get people to click on his stories. How is this any different then a blogger at this point. The funny part is he is now claiming the "big" trade rumor of Williams for 9 and 1 was not his rumor" If I were the managing editor at Foxsports.com. I would fire him the week after the draft.

Lol, seriously though 2 second rounders for Paul sounds like a steal. Then you could move him for something else in the future.
