<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If the Celtics don?t turn their dismal season around, Paul Pierce can picture himself in another uniform before the Feb. 23 trade deadline. And he wouldn?t mind winding up with a contender. ?It?s something I?d give a lot of thought to,? Pierce said before scoring 32 points in last night?s 104-102 Celtics? loss to the Mavericks at TD Banknorth Garden. Statistically, Pierce is having his best season. ?But I?d rather have a season like this when we?re winning,? he said. ?A career is defined by winning games and championships.? Pierce, 28, and in his eighth season, said he feels he?s running out of time. ?I?m not getting any younger,? Pierce said. ?(A trade) is something I?d give a lot of thought to.? Pierce said he might lobby for a trade himself or it could be instigated by Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge. Pierce entered last night?s game averaging 26.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He?s shooting just under 50 percent. Some teams would consider Pierce just what they needed in order to make a deep playoff run.</div> http://celtics.bostonherald.com/celtics/vi...rticleid=120677 If it does come to trading our franchise player i would only want to make a deal if both our deadweight players,being LaFrantz and Blount, where involved...
I wouldnt be surprised if Pierce were traded. The C's are doing pretty bad as of now. At the rate they are going its gonna be pretty hard to make playoffs.
Question is do we want a 8th spot in the playoffs only to get beat up by the Pistons or do we play our young guns...lose games and get ourselves a nice draft...the next 2/3 weeks will make this a little more clear...
We have so many problems right now. Paul Pierce is not one of them. Trading him now would be really really stupid.
I agree with 44...Pierce is not the problem this season, in fact he has had one of his better seasons this year...I think the primary reason is Rivers, and simply because of what has already been said: he refuses to establish a consistent rotation, and obviously does not have the respect and/or attention from his players...
