Ainge: Celtics open to trade offers

[AlbertPullhoez]

Are they really gonna trade Paul Pierce? I know the team is in a tough spot but there's no reason to trade the face of the Celtics post Larry Bird. Dude's been there for so long he needs to finish his career in Boston. I could understand why some Boston fans would be pissed if he got traded

 

[fact]

The only way they would trade PP is if Paul asked for a trade.

Paul pierce would have been a net last season if it were up to Danny

But nets preferred Wallace

Pierce Unwilling To Be Part Of Rebuilding Situation - RealGM Wiretap

Paul Pierce would be averse to being part of a Boston Celtics rebuilding project.

“I’m at the point in my career where I’ve got to evaluate it each and every year,” Pierce said. “It’s all based on the situation and based on what I want out of this game still. I mean, I’ve still got a lot of love for the game. I’m still very motivated. But there’s other factors.

“I mean, I really don’t want to be part of a rebuilding situation again. I just think at this point in time that’s something that would wear on me too much mentally that I don’t know what decision I may make if I have to. I may retire if I have to. You know, that’s something that’s a year-end process, especially given the situation that we have right now.”

Pierce left open the possibility he could finish his career with another team.

“It’s all on what they plan on doing,” said Pierce. “If they try to go into a rebuild mode, then, you know, I don’t know if I want to be a part of that. But that’s up to them and what they need to do. I don’t want to go out on a rebuild mode.

“I want an opportunity to at least try to win another championship, simple and plain. And if that’s not going to be here — if that’s going to be somewhere else — so be it. That’s what it has to be. I mean, even the greatest players played for other franchises.”

KG is the only bigman we have that can hold down the defense...probly the only big man that got an offensive repertoire too

 

[DirkDizzler]

Send them dudes to the Clips or some contenders in the west to knock out the Heat. As long as Ray dont win one I'm good. He broke my heart

 

[Mr swag]

I'd rather Paul retired than go elsewhere.

Better bring some young guys in collected draft picks and then drop out the playoffs


Y'all not winning a ring or getting close. Making the playoffs does nothing but give y'all an awful draft pick

Gotta rebuild sometime

Josh Smith for Rondo

Michael McNamara: Just heard strange rumor from EC source: Celtics talking about possibility of Pierce and Bradley for Eric Gordon.

I'll be if Austin Rivers ends up with the C's.

I could care less about Rivers lite..but Eric Gordan can never stay healthy. He'd be a good look for us. but that nikka always hurt

 

[beenz]

hornets are really doing anything to unload that EG contract I see. I wonder if the bulls could get austin rivers thrown in if they gave the hornets deng for EG.

He is injury-prone, but he has been Vince Carter-ing it with the injuries with the Hornets, as he obviously wants out and has been milking his injuries his whole tenure with them. But, Rondo, Gordon, and Jeff Green on the wings would be Gordon could probably make the All Star team in the East if healthy though. But, you gotta count on EG being rejuvenated and motivated though.
