yes - if I am Seattle, I am rolling the dice on probably 15+ years or so with Durant over a few more with Allen. I also don't see Pierce and Allen complimenting each other, they are basically the same player.

Well I actually think that Allen and Pierce complement each other pretty well. Pierce is a much more physical player who is willing to play inside, while Allen is more perimeter orientened and a much better pure shooter than Pierce. But either way Seattle is not trading Durant for Pierce.

Had a feeling we had this coming

Now that Garnett has said he isn't coming here, are we really going to bring in anyone to go with Pierce who is better than Al Jefferson?

I don't think so. Marion perhaps, but is he worth Al and the 5?

Al is the second option in the post that Pierce needs. We just need defense and a coach with a clue.

Jacoby_Ellsbury

Well that's where a Kirilenko trade and Tony Allen/Rondo come in handy.

I don't think Pierce would go to other random "league executives" to talk to them about his problems.

A five win season wouldn't cause the firing of Danny. Wyc loves him.

Not one of those guys would be able to defend a 7 footer.

Jacoby_Ellsbury

alright trade Gomes or someone for a late first-rounder and pick Sean Williams. About the only solution we have at this point.

There isn't a GM in the league that would rather have an All Star who was 6th in the NBA in scoring the last season his coach let him play than a kid who's never played a single minute in the NBA? I know SI projects him to score nearly 30 a game as a rookie, but I'm sure there are skeptical GMs. He has Kobe upside, sure, but he's not guaranteed to be Kobe at all.

The only thing Wyc loves more than Danny & Pierce is money. And a post-Pierce season will kill his attendance. After that his options will be to spend money or hire someone competent. I can't see Wyc picking up the check to save Danny.

Full disclosure here i'm a lifelong union man who really never had much use for management but i'm defending Ainge 100%. If i'm Paul Pierce about to make 20 million dollars a year (and cant get my team to the playoffs) i'm embarrassed i opened my mouth about wanting out, first off the bum isnt worth that kind of coin and second he should be washing windows and taking tickets in the parking lot for holding that team up like that. I'm so pissed at these ####### premadonnas they should make a team and let all the crybabies play together.

Ruff Draft

KG is still a chance, and so is landing a guy like Odom. KG doesn't dislike Boston. He was angry it went from a deal with PHX, and then it being cancelled and turned into BOS. Plenty of time left till thursday night!
