We've all had some time to stand back and examine the current state of the Celtics with a little less emotion and a little more practicality. Does that make Paul Pierce's Game 6 antics any less horrifying? Not really, but when you're talking about business sense, you better make sure you get something of equal value if you plan on shipping him out of town. For all his warts (including a maddening defensive indifference, at times), Pierce is still a big-time talent who can rebound and pass and fill it up. I don't see anyone who is available that offers the same skills. Ray Allen is a nice player, but he's no Paul Pierce.</div> Source
I would take Ray Allen over Pierce. Jackie Mac can write all she wants about how great Pierce is, but as long as she continues to overlook very important things such as team chemistry and an inflated ego in a ball movement offense, then I'm going to continue to overlook the words in her articles.
