    Good deal for both. Pierce gets to start on a playoff team. They aren't too far off from being a contender in the east tbh.

    As subs at 1 and 2, Andre Miller and Martell Webster will be on the floor with Pierce sometimes.

    A year ago, the Nets gave #1s in 2014, 2016, and 2018, but also gave Boston the right to trade the 2017 #1s.

    Nets got Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry, D.J. White, Celtics option to swap 2017 #1s with Nets, 2017 conditional #2 (if Celtics exercise right to swap 2017 #1s, protected top 45)

    Nets gave Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, Kris Joseph, Keith Bogans, 2014 #1 (least favorable of Hawks, Nets picks) (#17-James Young), 2016 #1, Celtics option to swap 2017 #1s with Nets, 2018 #1

    Boston did really good for themselves (except for the Wallace contact.)

    Holy shit. Has there ever been a worse set of trades for a team and a player? The Nyets trade for Wallace and give up Damian Lillard and a shit load of expiring deals (Okur and Williams). They then trade Wallace away along with three 1st round picks for a player who bolts and another at the end of his career.

    Yikes.

    Well I'm not sure if we would have been able to get both Kaman and Pierce? If we could have I am clearly at a loss for words right now. I do like the Blake signing to but that wasn't a MLE deal.

    Paul Pierce<<<Dorell Wright hands down. We could have even made Mathews a sixth man.
    Lillard
    Pierce
    Batum
    Aldridge
    Lopez
    Mathews as a the sixth man??

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Your math says you believe Wright to be a much, much better player. So I guess it's good that Portland has him?

    Pierce is an east coast guy and he went somewhere he can be the clear starter. Great signing for both but I'm glad he isn't here.

    That really makes no sense though... dude is from LA. It's sort of surprising that he has become so attached to the East coast.

    Maybe I should have said big city guy. Washington is the nations capital with Obama and tons of cities close by. He'd go to LA but I doubt he'd be interested in Portland, OKC, or any small market.

    Well supposedly Neil called him. I'm guessing he had no interest.
