    Pierce only played 28 mpg last year as a starter. He'd be great as a 6th/7th man at this point of his career. I'm not sure he even knows what defense is at this point, though, so you can't start him. He certainly didn't even try to play defense for the Nets last year.

    Well I like Wes better off the bench then Pierce, as Wes would bring more energy, but either way I'd be happy.

    Pierce is a scumbag.

    No, no, a thousand times no.

    ?? I don't find him to be a scumbag. But a savvy vet with championship experience. A big need for us.

    Pierce played for 15 million last year and he is going to choose to come to Portland for how much? If he settles for the MLE then he will have lots of options. I just don't think he will choose Portland.

    Whether someone likes Pierce or not (Im not too fond of him myself) he is EXACTLY the type of veteran that we need to lure to our bench. So if there was a way to get it done without too much damage I would be all for it.

    Here I made this generic form you can cut and paste for all your answers. Add f-bombs as you see fit for dramatic flaire.
