Is the trading deadline What do you expect to happen to Dallas? Will anyone be traded, will be go looking for anyone?
Boston Herald - If the Celtics don?t turn their dismal season around, <u>Paul Pierce</u> can picture himself in another uniform before the Feb. 23 trade deadline. And he wouldn?t mind winding up with a contender. ?It?s something I?d give a lot of thought to,? Pierce said before scoring 32 points in last night?s 104-102 Celtics? loss to the Mavericks at TD Banknorth Garden. Statistically, Pierce is having his best season. ?But I?d rather have a season like this when we?re winning,? he said. ?A career is defined by winning games and championships.? Pierce, 28, and in his eighth season, said he feels he?s running out of time. ?I?m not getting any younger,? Pierce said. ?(A trade) is something I?d give a lot of thought to.? Pierce said he might lobby for a trade himself or it could be instigated by Celtics executive director of basketball operations Danny Ainge. Pierce entered last night?s game averaging 26.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. He?s shooting just under 50 percent. Some teams would consider Pierce just what they needed in order to make a deep playoff run From the Mavericks perspective, would you be interested in going after him? KVH + Daniels for Blount + Pierce
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Maverick:</div><div class="quote_post"> KVH + Daniels for Blount + Pierce</div> wow... just.. wow.... why would you even suggest something like that maybe dirk for pierce+lafrentz, or terry+ stackhouse for pierce + blount, maybe harris+stackhouse for pierce
Well because Dallas wouldn't trade A) Devin Harris Josh Howard C) Keith Van Horn has a 15 mil expiring D) Mark Blount has a horrible contract E) Marquis Daniels is a nice player in the making F) Pierce wants a change of scenery
I think Pierce would be a pretty good fit in Dallas, but anyone in return other than Blount. He'd make the fans stop booing Dampier. Terrible rebounder for a Center and poor work ethic. I'd rather get Big Al or Perkins instead.
I personally have grown to not stand Van Horn at all. Flat cant stand him...he is a waste of 7 feet. He cant shoot all that well, he cant play the center position, he is weak, and he commits the stupidest things in the most crucial times. I wouldnt mind at all to see him go, and we could probably get somebody decent for him. I do like marquis and would hate to see him go, but id do quis and van horn for Pierce. No way on earth would we even think about trading dirk, terry, harris, howard.
