Re: The Celtics Should Keep Pierce
i would absolutely not trade pierce for rasheed or rip.
rasheed is 30 and isn't even a top 10 PF in the league...yes he's a good player, but he is far from being a franchise player.
rip is just worse than pierce in almost every way imaginable.
big ben merits consideration because he is one of the few good centers in the league...his rebounding and defense are extremely valuable. however, he is 30, he can't score, and his free throws are killer. i think i would still keep pierce over him.
i love chauncey and i hate that we gave him up, but he's not a great PG (5.8 apg this year = good but not great) and i wouldn't give up pierce to get him.
tayshaun may have the greatest trade value of everyone on the team...he's become a solid scorer, good passer, good rebounder, and he's the best wing defender in the league who's not insane...not to mention the fact that he's still getting better. him vs. pierce would be a tough decision but i think i'd still keep paul.
