If the Celtics choose to rid themselves of Paul Pierce this , the team will have a need to add another wing. One player that fits the mold is Greece native Giannis Adetokunbo. Adetokunbo, 18, is undoubtedly the biggest mystery in this year’s draft class as he was unknown throughout the international community until recently. He lacks experience and has played against very weak...
(Note: This was written on Tuesday the 18th, by which time sources had reported the Clippers walking away from trade talks and Danny Ainge himself declared the trade “dead.” But as far as I know, an hour after publication the trade may end up happening, rendering this article useless. But, you know…whatever.)
Well…How Did We Get Here?
The first thing that should be addressed...
WALKING AWAY
A deal between the Clippers and Celtics that would deliver head coach Doc Rivers and veteran Kevin Garnett to Los Angeles reportedly is no longer a possibility.
"Doc came to me, pulled Paul and I to the side and all three of us agreed to speak later" Garnett said. "Too emotional. Obviously it was a big game, a tough loss, especially at home." But as far as his future with the Celtics? "It's a different day for that conversation," Garnett said. In addition to all the history, the love and the work ethic...
I've been begging EK to make this one for awhile now and it couldn't be better timing. Man of Steel (the superman movie brought to you by some of the guys behind The Dark Knight) comes out in theaters tomorrow and will have plenty of midnight shows around the country tonight.

LeBron James doesn't think he really has a rival, but he did name Paul Pierce as his biggest one if he had to choose somebody.
I don’t really have an individual rival, but I think the closest would have to be Paul Pierce.
I would say Boston is a rival of mine, because I’ve met them so many times in the post season, I’ve been able to advance against them, they’ve sent me home fishing a few times…
LeBron touched on the rival topic because Ahman Rashad was trying to force Kobe Bryant into the equation...
LET'S MAKE A DEAL
The Boston Celtics have to decide what they are going to do with veteran Paul Pierce. If they look to trade him, they may have a market.
The situation that the Celtics are in this off season is a tough one. The first roster decision likely to be made, and one that will affect every other one is what to do with Paul Pierce. Celtics GM, Danny Ainge, has options and I'm sure he is going to explore every one of them to the fullest before making the decision.
Pierce is in the last year of his contract and will...
END OF AN ERA
Numerous reports appear to indicate that Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge "likely" will buy out Paul Pierce’s $15 million contract for next year.
