The Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets have discussed a trade for Celtics star Paul Pierce, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Nets' offer centered on forward Kris Humphries, guard MarShon Brooks and a first-round draft pick, but the Celtics want a more substantial package to consider moving Pierce, league sources said. "The Celtics still highly value Pierce and it wouldn't make sense to trade him for that kind of a package if they're keeping Kevin Garnett," one league source said. Boston has shown interest in guard Mirza Teletovic and securing another possible first-round pick, but the Nets have shown no inclination to pay that steep of a price for Pierce. ... Boston had interest in guard C.J. Watson in a separate deal, but Brooklyn doesn't want to part with him, sources said.
So would they start Wallace at power forward or start Blatche at power forward and bring Wallace off the bench? Seems odd...
Hell if they want to dump Humpfries that bad give them 2-Pat, Morris, & Delfino for Humpfries, Brooks, & Blatche. Then in the summer flip Humpfries and Asik for Howard. Brooks could be a valuable back up for us and Humpfries and Blatche could back up Asik the rest of the season. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=bz842gw
The Nets are that guy in your fantasy league that offers Darius Miles and Keith Bogans in exchange for every single team's best player in the hopes that someone will accidentally click "ACCEPT." Nobody wants Kris Humphries, Brooklyn! Deal with that stupid contract you signed him to.
