    The five swaps suggested in the Insider article:

    1. Atlanta Hawks for PF Josh Smith
    2. Memphis Grizzlies for SF Rudy Gay
    3. Indiana Pacers for SF Danny Granger
    4. Utah Jazz for Paul Millsap and pick, or Enes Kanter and 2012 draft pick
    5. Houston Rockets for Kevin Martin and Patrick Patterson/Jordan Hill
    From http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/celtics/post/_/id/4688795/insider-blow-up-cs-pierce-trades

    I actually like this but instead of giving up Patterson, we give up Budinger.

    What you guys think. Bring in a nice veteran who could bring leadership and skills to the court. This will make Houston an attractive place to play for and can lure in new players with pierce on the team.

    CLose if already posted.

    If we go for Pierce, we might as well go after KG also (mainly his 21mil expiring contract). I just don't know how we could nab both though with their hefty contracts.

    A 34 year old player isn't going to lure players unless his name is Kobe Bryant.

    Doesn't make much sense considering there's two years left on his contract after this season and he will be untradeable in the interim.

    Remember when Pierce was stabbed 11 times at a nightclub in Boston? That feels like ages ago.

    I was trying to point out how long Pierce has been in the league, not his bragging rights.

    the first four trade suggestions are absolutely terrible for the teams that are getting Pierce.

    Absolutely not. Martin is eight years younger, healthier, and about as good as an age 34 healthy Pierce.

    Anybody think it'd be neat to have him mentor Morris for a bit since Morris has a similar game?
