He's an idiot. I would have stayed at taken my $21 million then tried to work out a decent deal next year.

Well if a lockout is coming, I guess it's better to get your money while you still can.

 

[sheed]

Yeah, forgot about that actually.

 

[RipCity32]

Don't see why he didn't just try an extension though.

 

[sheed]

He probably realizes the Celtics are going to go downhill starting this year.

 

[RipCity32]

He's going to resign with the Celtics, I'm almost sure.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I agree with Rip. Just trying to get more money.

 

[Mexi]

C's should offer a short term deal
his game is declining fast

this may be their chance to start over.
i'd let him go if another team is going to offer him a long term deal

but im being crazy

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Lol he hasn't really declined at all.

Kings should sign PP. I bet we'd make the playoffs with him.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Why would he want to go to the Kings though? You can't ONLY throw money at people and hope they take it. If Pierce leaves, it's because he thinks the Celtics can't win anymore, and he'll try to go to another winner.

I'm saying if we offered more than anyone else. We have a superstar in Reke, and some great talent in the posts. Idk, just hoping I guess. I heard we're not going to be spending this offseason anyways, cuz we'll have more than double the CAP next offseason.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

First of all, you can NOT call Tyreke Evans a superstar. Second of all, you can't say the Kings have GREAT talent in the post. But I'm just being a dick.

1. He will be.
2. I meant potential great talent, my bad.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Well saying will be and potential doesn't mean they are in the present. The only places I could see Pierce signing that AREN'T already solid teams are the Clippers (his home town team), and the Nets just because they'll throw the world at anybody.

I was just about to say the last part

Its either that or he's gonna go try and make money since he's won already. But I can't see a team that can win signing him

 

[Pugz]

paul just wants money. but if hes smart he'd leave, then again hes not even in the top 5 of the free agents. but if new jersey singed amare and pierce..theyd be hella nice.

Not even close there.

Twill I'm a Nets fan next year BTW (along with the Magic of course). Even if they don't get anyone.

Not my beat, but I keep hearing writing off Joe Johnson staying in ATL is mistake. ATL will offer max I'm told & $30 million is $30 million. 30 minutes ago via TweetDeck

The more, the merrier. Proky is smart with his cash. I beleive he said that he wouldn't spend money on second tier players if he doesn't get the guys he wants.
