He can buy a lot of medals with the 20 mil. Cash your paycheck, shut your piehole and go to work, make those guys around you better like Bird did and Russell did and all the other greats that wore that uniform.

Well, Pierce would have got alot of good help with JO and him being the one two punch in the east in that terrific 4 team trade. Apparently, the Celtics don't like winning too much.

Re: Pierce to demand trade after draft?
I still think things will go accordingly for Boston & Minnesota. They do a 2 team trade without any riff-raff from other teams. Yi somehow goes to Chicago, and they trade for Kobe. Jermaine O'Neal rots in Indiana, and Phoenix jumps into the top 10 somehow. I'm not sold on Maion leaving just yet, but it's possible. Along with Odom being traded.

he wouldnt have unless he was guaranteed that the team was going to compete sooner than later...but we all know that ainge is a lying snake...so yes noone held a gun to his head but everyone knows that he wouldnt have signed it if ainge said "yea paul we are goin to rebuild for another 5 years...if you want to suffer through 20 win teams for the next 5 years sign here"

Re: Pierce to demand trade after draft?
JO to Boston is garbage if they don't get Odom or something along the lines.

Like you found anyone here that would stand up and defend Ainge's competence. I think that by now the only debate is where to place him in the category of historically bad GMs.

Re: Pierce to demand trade after draft?
Everyone is quick to say how much of a star Pierce is and how great Jefferson is going to be and now you're going to get a top talent with the 5th pick. You're playing in the eastern conferance, start producing. Quit blaming management for everything.

Management is responsible for the motley collection of players that went 4-31 last year. They have no one but themselves to blame for the sad sack state of the franchise. Wally Szczerbiak didn't trade himself to the Celtics. Gerald Green wasn't the person that decided to renege on the draft promise to Monta Ellis. Sebastian Telfair didn't trade himself for Brandon Roy, and Antoine Walker didn't trade himself for a cripple with a 17 year contract. Ainge is the guy responsible for the team that went 4-31. The best thing that could happen to this franchise would be Pierce going Vinsanity on them because in the ensuing 14 win season the owners would be forced to clean house, and it will be tough for them to hire a worse GM.

I don't know what you're talking about, but all I was saying was that I predicted months ago that Pierce would go T-mac and ask for a veteran for the pick or a trade.
