    Hoopshype just said that Boston is considering sending Paul pierce to the Denver nuggets for nene and miller

    'http://www.probasketballnews.com/heath_0904.html','31')

    this would be a realllyy good trade for the Denver Nuggets
    this would automatically make them championship contenders

    a line-up of
    K-Mart, Melo, Peirce, and Watson=unstoppable

    This trade doesn't make sense. What would Boston do with another PG? If I am correct, that would mean they would have 5 PGs.

    Also, this would probably mean Nene will start over Al Jefferson, something Boston doesn't want. Boston doesn't want to stunt his improvement, and getting Nene will do just that.

    This would be awesome for the Nuggets, but utterly useless for the Celts.

    I'm sure that they will send a pg like Marcus Banks to Denver as well. As for Nene starting over Jefferson, I think that Nene will start at Power Foward, and that Al will start at Power Center.

    The Celtics lineup would look somehting like this:

    PG: Andre Miller
    SG: either Tony Allen or Ricky Davis
    SF: Ryan Gomes
    PF: Nene
    C: Al Jefferson

    Well, I just read on RealGM.com that a highranking official in the Celtics organization has e-mailed insidehoops.com refuting the article and sayig that it is,"incorrect."

    Even if the deal has been "refuted", I still think there's possibility that it goes down. Pierce and Melo would be a deadly combo along with Vashon Leonard and Marcus Camby.

    personally, I think it might be a bad idea. Pierce has been acting like an Emokid for the last 3 seasons, and has been a cancer to his team. I'd stay away from him if i were you. go after Flip instead.

    He's been nothing close to a cancer. That's a strong term, and using for the grumbling that Pierce has done is far too harsh. Not only that, but Ronald Murray has nowhere near the talent nor big game experience that Paul has. Pierce is a unique talent that could very well vault Denver into contender status with his mere presence. That said, this deal is BS.
