    I don't see the value in trading for Pierce. He's way over that hill and making an insane amount of money. Same goes for KG.

    The site is iffy yes but the tweet was a little more reliable, Michael McNamara is the Editor of the ESPN TrueHoop Network site Bourbon Street Shots and not affiliated with Rant to the best of my knowledge

    He's only guaranteed 5 or 6 million next season. They'd waive him, it'd be to dump Gordon and add Bradley.

    Someone tweeted that the Clippers may try to open negotiations with the Celts for: Pierce, KG, Bradley (I think) and Doc Rivers for Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Eric Bledsoe.

    That card was revoked because you're a minority.

    Then he should force a sign and trade with the Heat!

    I don't like that idea for Boston. They need a full rebuild, and giving away Bradley will hurt in that respect. In terms of trade value, I'd rank Bradley > EG. And not to mention the year or two of PP they're giving away in addition.

    Curry/Thompson/Barnes + Howard could be scary good.

    Dwightmare is going to drag this on.

    Clippers have now "no interest" in Howard.

    His severe nerve damage turned him into late-career Antonio Davis.

    Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

    Yeah, but with Howard as the "Veteran Leader" of that group, my guess is that they take a step backward. Howard needs to go to a team with a solid veteran leader to push him. Even then he might not be as good as his stats indicate.

    Re: 2013 Official NBA Off-season Movement & Rumors

    Well, there is also David Lee. But I have a feeling that Mark Jackson would be all the leader that Howard would need. To date, Dwight's really only played for old white guy coaches (Brian Hill, SVG, D'Antoni). He might respond completely differently to a young, black coach who was in the league as recently as 10 years ago.

    Man, that sounds like something Chris Paul would say...

    Man, his injury might be undersold, but Antonio Davis? That's just brutal...

    (and for the record, Antonio Davis was the man, but c'mon... that's harsh)

    I think the fact that they're both vocal God-botherers might also factor in.
