Admin Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Depends is your cuz a 3 and D guy?? He said he balls at the Y so I'm guessing his cuz is Giannis and in that case I'm pretty sure he's not a 3 guy. Maybe D but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairydawgz Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't know if the 16th pick is enough of an enticement to take on Pierce's salary unless we have no shot at Dwight and CP3. I understood the article to say that pierce would go somewhere else (Cleveland) and that the trade exception would be used to acquire Josh. Perhaps they would be willing to draft a player for the Hawks with their later pick and include the draft rights to that player in the sign and trade? I know we can't trade Josh for a pick this year obviously but maybe doing it that way it could work. (Maybe not, I'm no expert on those rules,haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol If I understand correctly then no because according to Hawksfanatic his contract has to be guaranteed for next year by June 30th and we won't have $16 million in cap space at that date he won't be able to be traded. Once his contract is guaranteed for next year he can be traded but then you won't be able to buy him out. I could be wrong about this but that's my understanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainview1981 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Paul would probably rather retire than play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrReality Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Never trade with Boston. Dr. J. Don't think we'll get a fair deal if we trade with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJlaysitup Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Paul would probably rather retire than play here. I would imagine that would be his first thought - but (and it's a BIG BUT) - Pierce has no protection and can be traded anywhere - so it's GET PAID - or - DON'T. Besides - he doesn't have be traded here - could be a big one in the works. With the mess the Celtics seem to be in, Smoove would be a great pickup for them at this point - they will need an exciting player to jazz up the crowd. P.S. - then they can get LeBron to opt out after next year and him and Smoove and Rondo can win a title.

I know and that's not what the title of the thread says. It's been long since clarified in this thread since the initial confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
