Premium Member BrazilianHawk Posted January 12, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) I hate the guy, but he would be a GREAT upgrade over KK. He could retire sooner rather than later tho. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/225550/Celtics_Making_Pierce_Available_In_Trade_Talks Edited January 12, 2013 by BrazilianHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachx Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) Don't see why adding a 35 year old wing would be prudent. He wouldn't make us a contender at his age. Edited January 12, 2013 by coachx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Randy Posted January 12, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I'd love to see us get him. I'd probably buy tickets for the rest of the season, right behind our bench. Then I could sit there all night telling him how much he sucks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Naw, I don't like that guy. Respect his game though, I guess. One of the greatest players in history who I could never really classify as "great." I did have great resoect for his fourth quarter scoring: he led the league for a good while diring his peak. I saw a Celtics blog a while back that dived into his career numbers much deeper than anyone should, but the diversity of his game is impressie from a historical perspective. I think he's one of those who'll have to wait for the HOF a few years and be disappointed. He doesnt have that one unique or transcendent skill that puts him over the top as a surefire. I can say he did a whole hell of a lot more with 6'7, 230-something pounds than Joe ever did, a lot less than Melo can offensively, but a much better defender than Melo at his peak. Sometimes you watch him now and you can't even tell he's out there until he shoots that hideous three ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q45T Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Pierce can sure as hell score but on the other side of the ball... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I would rather lose the next 40 then win 75% of those games with Pierce. The only bigger jerk in the NBA plays next to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted his trade was for the betterment of the team, but the guy can make the most awesome plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
